Rendsburg station is located in the city of Rendsburg in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein and is at the junction of the Neumünster–Flensburg and Rendsburg Kiel lines. It is currently operated by Deutsche Bahn, which classifies it as a category 4 station. There used to be a direct line from Rendsburg to Husum via Erfde, as distinct from the current route via Jübek. A short section of the Erfde line is still used for the carriage of freight.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Kiel Canal was built as along with Rendsburg High Bridge over it and the Rendsburg Loop, which allowed trains to continue to use Rendsburg station. The station’s roof was renovated from 2007 to 2009. Later, the platforms were rehabilitated. Following the completion of the renovation the station it has five tracks, four of which have a platform.
The approximately 34 km-long Neumünster–Flensburg railway, funded by local interests, was opened by the Rendsburg-Neumünster Railway Company (Rendsburg-Neumünstersche Eisenbahn) between Neumünster and the station then known as Rendsburg-Glacis as part of the Jutland Line (Jütlandlinie) on 18 September 1845. This was followed on 1 January 1847 by a connection to the port railway from Rendsburg-Glacis to Rendsburg-Obereider.
