Neu-Ulm station is the largest railway station of the Bavarian Große Kreisstadt (major district town) of Neu-Ulm. Other station in Neu-Ulm are Gerlenhofen and Finninger Straße, both on the Neu-Ulm–Kempten railway, and the disused Burlafingen station on the Ulm–Augsburg railway.
The station was opened in 1853 and was rebuilt in 2007 as part of the Neu-Ulm 21 project in an open trough structure, which is covered to the northeast and southwest of the platforms.
It has four platform tracks and is served daily by about 120 trains operated by Deutsche Bahn and agilis. The station is served by local trains managed by the Donau-Iller-Nahverkehrsverbund (Danube-Iller Local Transport Association, DING).
Neu-Ulm station is located southeast of the city centre of Neu-Ulm. Bahnhofstrasse (station street) runs to the northwest of the station and Meininger Allee runs to the southeast. To the southwest is the station building and the bus station, where Hermann Koehl-Straße also crosses the tracks. In the northeast is the station’s parking lot; north of it Reuttier Straße crosses the tracks. Both the bus station and the parking lot are built on the roof of the cut and cover tunnels that the rail tracks run through. The station’s address is Julius-Rohm-Platz 1.
On 25 April 1850, the Kingdom of Bavaria signed a treaty with the Kingdom of Württemberg to extend the railway line between Munich and Augsburg to Ulm and connect with the Württemberg railway network. In March 1852, construction began on the railway bridge over the Danube. The first train arrived at Neu-Ulm station after 25 December 1853; this was officially opened on 26 September together with the Neu-Ulm–Burgau section of the Bavarian Maximilian’s Railway. Since the Danube bridge had not yet been completed, a droshky service operated between Ulm and Neu-Ulm station. The Neu-Ulm station building was completed on 1 December 1853. The Danube bridge, which from the beginning was designed for two tracks, was completed on 1 May 1854 and the entire Maximilian’s Railway from Ulm to Munich was completed on 1 June. It was operated by four daily trains each way. The line between Ulm and Neu-Ulm was duplicated at the end of 1856.
