History
Opened 1855

Landau (Pfalz) Hauptbahnhof (Landau (Pfalz) main station) is the centre of public transport in the city of Landau in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The history of the station begins in 1855, when the Palatine Maximilian Railway was opened on the Neustadt–Landau–WindenWissembourg route. In 1872, a new station building was built in the Romanesque revival style, replacing the original timber building. In the same year, the Lower Queich Valley Railway (Untere Queichtalbahn) was opened from Germersheim to Landau. The Queich Valley Railway (Queichtalbahn), connecting Landau, Annweiler, Biebermühle and Zweibrücken, was opened in 1874/5.

Long distance trains ran in all directions, on the AmsterdamBingerbrückBad Kreuznach–Neustadt–Landau–StrasbourgBasel route and on the MunichUlmStuttgartBruchsal–Germersheim–Landau–Biebermühle–Zweibrücken–Saarbrücken route.
