Rosenheim station (German: Bahnhof Rosenheim) is the main railway station in the city of Rosenheim in Bavaria, Germany. It is the seventh largest passenger station in Bavaria and an important railway hub between the Munich–Rosenheim railway line and the lines to Salzburg, Kufstein/Innsbruck and Mühldorf, as well as the Mangfall Valley Railway. Rosenheim is operated by DB Station&Service, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG, and is classified as a Category 2 station
A first station on the Rosenheim–Kufstein–Innsbruck line, promoted by industrialist Joseph Maffei and King Maximilian II of Bavaria, was opened on 31 October 1857. Located south of the city centre, it soon proved to be too small after the opening of the line to Salzburg in 1860 and the Austrian Brenner Railway in 1867. From 1873 onwards, a new station at the present site was built; it was inaugurated on 19 April 1876. After only 18 years of usage, the old station building was sold to the City of Rosenheim and serves as its town hall (Rathaus) up to today.
The new station, a Neo-Renaissance building, was large enough to cope with the additional traffic on the newly opened line to Mühldorf from 1 May 1876. It was nevertheless rebuilt and enlarged several times during the following decades, including a extended freight yards and a locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk). The premises were severely damaged by strategic bombing in World War II, operations ceased on 20 April 1945.
