Zuffenhausen station is a railway station of the Stuttgart S-Bahn in Zuffenhausen in the city of Stuttgart, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. With its six platform tracks, it is one of the largest stations in Stuttgart.
Zuffenhausen station was opened by the Royal Württemberg State Railways on 15 October 1846. It was built as part of the Central Railway (Centralbahn) between Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg and had a one-story station building. Apart from passengers from Zuffenhausen, it was used especially for travellers to the neighbouring village of Korntal. In 1852 the State Railways, built a second track on the Northern Railway between Stuttgart and Bietigheim.
From the early 1860s, the State Railways planned a line from Stuttgart to the Northern Black Forest. After long controversy over a route via Böblingen or via Zuffenhausen, the Württemberg parliament (Landtag) approved on 13 August 1865 a route for the Black Forest Railway that branched off the Northern Railway in Zuffenhausen and ran via Leonberg and Weil der Stadt to Calw. The first section was opened between Zuffenhausen and Ditzingen on 23 September 1868. It took almost four years for the line to be completed. In 1868, Carl Julius Abel built a new, larger station building adequate for the increased ridership. It had a three-story front building connected to a two-storey extension. At its southern end was single-story waiting room. A restaurant was established for passengers waiting to transfer between trains. In addition, a freight shed, a locomotive shed and workshop were added.
