History
Opened 25 August 1849

Lambrecht (Pfalz) station is the station of the town of Lambrecht in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as belonging to category 4 and it has three platform tracks. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 121. Its address is Bahnhofstraße 4.

It is located on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway, which essentially consists of the Palatine Ludwig Railway (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn, LudwigshafenBexbach). It was opened on 25 August 1849, when the Ludwig Railway was put into full operation. In 1902 an industrial track was built to Sattelmühle and it was extended as a branch railway (called the KuckucksbähnelLittle Cuckoo Railway) to Elmstein and fully opened in 1909. This carried normal passenger services up until 1960 and was reopened as a heritage railway in 1984.

The station is located on the northern outskirts of the town and is surrounded by sandstone formations.Bahnhofstraße (station street) runs immediately south – approximately parallel to the tracks – and continues through a long S-curve into Hauptstraße (main street), which is also the route of federal highway 39. To the west, it becomes Sommerbergstraße. The latter bridges the station area and runs back to the east – also approximately parallel to the railway – through a residential area to the north of the railway. The station itself is at line-kilometre 70.752. The zero point for the kilometrage is between Bexbach and Neunkirchen on the former BavariaPrussia national border.
