| Opened | 29 October 1870 |
Winnweiler station is the station of the town of Winnweiler in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category 6 station and it has two platforms. The station is located in the area of the Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund (Karlsruhe transport association, KVV).
It is located on the Alsenz Valley Railway (Alsenztalbahn, Hochspeyer–Bad Münster) and was opened on 29 October 1870 with the first section from Hochspeyer to Winnweiler.
The station is located on the north-eastern edge of Winnweiler. There is a pedestrian level crossing at the station. In addition, a bridge crosses the station, connecting the B48 with the village centre.
With the opening of the Hochspeyer–Winnweiler section of the Alsenz Valley Railway on 29 October 1870, Winnweiler was connected to the railway network. For about half a year, Winnweiler was the terminus of this line. On 16 May 1871, the line was extended to Bad Münster am Stein and thus completed. Since then, Winnweiler station has been a through station.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the station had ticket gates like other stations in the Palatinate. During this time, the station was managed by the Betriebs- und Bauinspektion Kaiserslautern II (operations and construction inspectorate of Kaiserslautern II) and was part of the responsibility of the Bahnmeisterei Rockenhausen (office of the track master of Rockenhausen).
In 1922, the station was integrated into the new Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen (railway division of Ludwigshafen). A year later, the railway workers employed at the railway station were expelled during the operation of the railway by the French military during the occupation of the Palatinate by France. During the dissolution of the railway division of Ludwigshafen, on 1 April 1937, it was transferred to the railway division of Mainz and the Betriebsamtes (RBA) Bad Kreuznach (operations office of Bad Kreuznach).
