Ludwigshafen-Mundenheim station—originally called Mundenheim—is in the Ludwigshafen suburb of Mundenheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category 5 station and it has three platform tracks and one through track without a platform. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 103. Its address is Wattstraße 126.
It is located on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway and it was opened in 1886 under the name of Mundenheim. Four years later, on 15 October 1890, the narrow-gauge Ludwigshafen–Dannstadt railway was opened, making it an interchange station. This line was extended to Meckenheim on 1 March 1911. It was closed in 1955. Since December 2003, the station has been served by lines S1 and S2 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn. In addition, a freight track branched off at the station.
The station is located in the west of the Ludwigshafen district of Mundenheim.
Mundenheim station was opened in 1886. Four years later, on 15 October 1890, the metre-gauge Ludwigshafen–Dannstadt railway was opened, which crossed the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway (originally called the Palatinate Ludwig Railway or Pfalzische Ludwigsbahn) to the north of the station. The at-grade crossing of the tracks was controlled by signals. Mundenheim became the terminus. Years later, it was renamed Ludwigshafen-Mundenheim, thus taking account of the incorporation of the village into Ludwigshafen in 1899. On 1 March 1911, the narrow-gauge line was extended to Meckenheim. The narrow-gauge line was located parallel to Maudacher Straße; it had four tracks with platforms next to the entrance building. The freight track branched off from Maudach in the west before these platforms and ran south to the freight shed.
In 1922, the station was integrated into the newly founded Reichsbahndirektion (Reichsbahn railway division) of Ludwigshafen. From 1933, the narrow-gauge railway started from Mundenheim as the section to Ludwigshafen had been closed. A roundhouse and a servicing pit were built in the track triangle between the passenger and freight tracks in front of the entrance building. During the dissolution of the railway division of Ludwigshafen on 1 April 1937, it was transferred to the railway division of Mainz.
