Singen (Hohentwiel) station is an important regional railway junction and interchange station in the town of Singen in the south of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Three railways now meet there, but in the past five railways connected to it. The station is served by InterCity trains on the Stuttgart–Zurich route and it is the end of line S22 of the Zurich S-Bahn.
Deutsche Bahn officially call the station Singen (Hohentwiel). Because of its size and its significance for the district of Konstanz, the station is sometimes referred to as Singen Hauptbahnhof locally. In addition, the abbreviations Singen (Hohentw), Singen (Htw) and just Singen are used.
Singen is the starting point of the Gäu Railway (Gäubahn) to Stuttgart. On this line, the city is a stop for InterCity services between Stuttgart, Singen, Schaffhausen and Zurich. In addition, trains on the Black Forest Railway (Badische Schwarzwaldbahn), connecting Singen Offenburg and Konstanz stop in Singen. The Upper Rhine Railway (Hochrheinbahn) provides connections to Basel.
Singen owes its development from a farming village into industrial town primarily to its role as a railway junction. The railway reached the village for the first time in 1863, when the Upper Rhine Railway was completed from Basel to Konstanz (Constance). Ten years later, the Black Forest Railway was completed from Offenburg to Konstanz, connecting with the Upper Rhine Railway in Singen. The Etzwilen–Singen railway to Switzerland completed the main lines connecting with Singen.
