Graben-Neudorf station is the focal point of the town of Graben-Neudorf in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is of particular importance for rail transport because it is a railway junction, which is crossed by the Rhine Railway between Mannheim and Karlsruhe, connecting to the Rhine Valley Railway to Basle, and the Bruhrain Railway (Bruhrainbahn) between Bruchsal and Germersheim. In addition, the strategic railway opened in 1895 to Karlsruhe branched off the original Rhine Railway here. The original line (Graben-Neudorf–Eggenstein–Karlsruhe) became known as the Hardt Railway (Hardtbahn), but it became disused in 1967. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.
Graben-Neudorf station is centrally located between the districts of Graben and Neudorf in the municipality of Graben-Neudorf. The town of Neudorf is on the east side of the line and the residential and industrial area of its centre, which is to the east of the station, including shops in Heidelberger Straße, has grown strongly. Today's station building was opened in 1980. A relay interlocking system was put into operation in 1982. The station building is not always open and the waiting room is no longer operational. Part of the building is leased to a security company and another part of the building houses a bakery. The old station building now houses the town library.
Graben-Neudorf station has five tracks accessible by passenger trains at a total of three platforms with a platform height of 76 cm (the standard of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn) and electronic train destination indicators. Line S 33 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn commenced in December 2011 on the Bruhrain Railway (Germersheim–Bruchsal) through Graben-Neudorf station and replaced the former class 628 diesel multiple units. Two ticket machines with the latest generation of touchscreen functions are available for the purchase of tickets on regional and long-distance services.
