Wörth (Rhein) station—originally Wörth (Pfalz)—is the most important station of the town of Wörth am Rhein in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category 5 station and it has five platforms. The station is located in the area of the Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund (Karlsruhe transport association, KVV) and it belongs to fare zone 540. Since 2001, transitional tickets of the Verkehrsverbundes Rhein-Neckar (VRN) are also accepted. The address of the station is Bahnhofstraße 44.
It was opened on 15 March 1864 as a through station on the branch of the Maximilian Railway from Winden to Maximiliansau. The gap to Karlsruhe was closed a year later. The extension of the Schifferstadt–Gemersheim railway and its continuation to Strasbourg turned it into a junction station on 15 May 1876. A branch of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn was built through the residential area of Dorschberg in 1997. Its entrance building is under heritage protection.
Wörth (Rhein) station Is located to the east of the centre of the town on Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Straße (L 540), the main road thorough Wörth. In the immediate vicinity is a connection to federal highway 9. Attached to it is a large parking station, which is free to use.
The east-west aligned Palatine Ludwig Railway (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn) was built from Rheinschanze (since 1853: Ludwigshafen) to Bexbach between 1847 and 1849. This mainly served the transport of coal. The Palatine Maximilian Railway (Pfälzische Maximiliansbahn, Neustadt-Wissembourg) was built in 1855 as a through line over which coal from the Saargegend and agricultural produce from the Palatinate could be transported to France.
