Gare de Saverne is a French railway station located on the Noisy-le-Sec–Strasbourg railway. It is located within the commune of Saverne, in departement Bas-Rhin, in northeastern France.
The station was put in operation in 1851 by the Strasbourg–Basel railway company, which operates the section between the cities of Strasbourg and Sarrebourg on request by the Paris–Strasbourg railway company.
As of 2015, it is a travellers station of the Société nationale des chemins de fer français, belonging to the regional railway network TER Alsace. It is served by TGV (high-speed trains), EuroCity trains and by regional express transport (especially TER 200) trains.
Established at 187 meters above the sea level, the Saverne station is located at the kilometric point 458.011 of the Noisy-le-Sec–Strasbourg railway, between the former stations of Stambach and Zornhoff-Monswiller. The nearest open travellers stations are located in Lutzelbourg and Steinbourg.
Being a former bifurcation station, it was the terminus of the Sélestat–Saverne railway, located at the kilometric point 64.840. This line was later downgraded and left between the stations of Molsheim and Saverne.
The Kuhn company's factory has its own siding at the Saverne station.
The Saverne station was put in operation on May 29, 1851 by the Stasbourg–Basel railway company, when the latter officially opened, with staff and equipment, the operating of the railway section between Strasbourg and Sarrebourg located on the future Strasbourg–Paris railway. The inauguration of this section took place on May 18; however, the Paris–Strasbourg railway company, which suffered from a lack of well-trained railway workers, entrusted the operation to Stasbourg–Basel railway company, which had more experience.
