Winterthur Wülflingen Location within Switzerland

Winterthur Wülflingen railway station (German: Bahnhof Winterthur Wülflingen) is a railway station that serves Wülflingen, which is district number 6 in Winterthur, a city in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. It forms part of the Winterthur–Bülach–Koblenz railway.

The station's architectural features, consisting of a station building and a goods shed, are inscribed on the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National Significance, as a typical station from the turn of the century.

The station is situated to the southeast of the Wülflingen district, and separated from the district's centre by the A1/A4 motorway.

At the time of their planning and construction, the railway line and station were outside the district limits, and it was anticipated that they would serve primarily freight traffic to and from the spinning factory. For that reason, work began in 1875 on the construction of a simple timber station building. This building, a freight shed with integrated station office, was ready for occupation in time for the opening of the Winterthur–Bülach–Koblenz railway.

Due to industrialization and a consequential increase in the residential population, the town gradually expanded enough to reach the station, making a proper station building necessary. That is why the present station building, which, at the time, was promoted in Wülflingen in exaggerated fashion with a direct "Wülflingen–Paris" rail link, was built in 1908.

The original building, located west of the 1908 station building, has remained to this day as a goods shed.

Winterthur Wülflingen has two platform tracks. The station itself is now unstaffed, and a restaurant is housed in the station building. Opposite the station is the Niderfeld industrial zone, which is connected to the railway tracks.
