Meckenheim station is a small railway junction in Meckesheim, North Baden in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is located on the Neckargemünd–Bad Friedrichshall railway and is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station. The Schwarzbach Valley Railway branches off the Elsenz Valley Railway to Aglasterhausen in Meckenheim. Until 1990, the Wiesloch–Meckesheim/Waldangelloch railway also branched off via Schatthausen to Wiesloch Stadt and Wiesloch-Walldorf.
Meckenheimer station was opened on 23 October 1862 by the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway (Großherzoglich Badische Staatseisenbahnen) together with the section of line from Neckargemünd to Meckenheim as part of the Odenwald Railway from Heidelberg to Mosbach and Würzburg. The section from Meckenheim to Bad Rappenau followed for 25 June 1868.
The Meckesheim–Neckarelz railway was also opened as an extension of the Neckargemünd–Meckenheim line in 1862. As a result, Meckenheim became a junction station.
The 19 km-long line from Wiesloch-Walldorf via Wiesloch Stadt to Meckesheim was opened on 14 May 1901, providing a link between the Rhine Valley Railway to the Elsenz Valley Railway.
As a result of the hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, the Schatthausen–Meckenheim section of the Wiesloch–Meckenheim branch line was closed in 1922.
