| Opened | 1 July 1848 |
Landstuhl station is a station in the town of Landstuhl in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as belonging to station category 3 and has three platforms tracks. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (VRN) and belongs to fare zone 844.
It is located on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway, which essentially consists of the Palatine Ludwig Railway (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn), Ludwigshafen–Bexbach. It was opened on 1 July 1848 with the Kaiserslautern–Homburg section of the Palatine Ludwig Railway. The station became a junction station with the opening of the Landstuhl–Kusel railway on 20 September 1868. It has also been served by line S1 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn since December 2006.
At the moment, the station is under reconstruction, with the construction work due to be completed by the spring of 2019.
The station is located on the north-western outskirts of Landstuhl. Bahnstraße (station street) runs to the south parallel to the tracks. To the north is an industrial area. The western part of the station is bridged by state route 363.
The Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway runs straight to the station in the east-west direction. Immediately afterwards, it turns slightly to the west-southwest. The Landstuhl–Kusel railway branches off in the west and turns on a broad curve almost at a right angle to the north.
Originally, it had been planned to build a railway orientated north-south within the then Circle of the Rhine (Rheinkreis). However, it was agreed to first build a highway in the east-west direction, which was to be used primarily for transporting coal from Saar area to the Rhine. The line ran from Bexbach to the west via Landstuhl and Kaiserslautern to Rheinschanze. The plan of 1839 provided for a station at Sickingenstadt. 730 gulden had to be paid for the acquisition of land in the town.
