Wolfratshausen station is a station of the Munich S-Bahn. It is located in the Upper Bavarian town of Wolfratshausen in Germany. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 6 station. It has two platform tracks next to a central platform. The station is located in the network area of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (Munich Transport and Tariff Association, MVV) and is served by line 7 of the S-Bahn, which is operated by Deutsche Bahn.
The station was established on 27 July 1891 as a terminus when the Isar Valley Railway from Munich was put into operation. The line was built and operated by Lokalbahn AG (LAG). The station became a through station on 1 June 1897 when the Isar Valley Railway was extended to Eurasburg. In 1898, the line was extended from Eurasburg to Bichl. Until the nationalisation of the LAG in 1938 the Wolfratshausen station included a locomotive depot. From 1957 to 27 May 1972 Deutsche Bundesbahn closed the line between Bichl and Wolfratshausen in several stages, so that Wolfratshausen station became a terminus. On 28 May 1972, S-Bahn services began between Munich and Wolfratshausen.
The station is located to the east of central Wolfratshausen. The station building is located to the west of the tracks and has the address of Bahnhofstraße 41. Bahnhofstraße, Sauerlacher Straße and Straße Am Floßkanal run to the west of the tracks. In the south of the station building is the Wolfratshausen bus station. The southern part of the station precinct is crossed by state route 2070, running along Sauerlacher Straße and crossing the tracks over a level crossing. Mühlpointweg passes through a tunnel under the tracks to the north of the station.
The station is now the terminus of the Isar Valley Railway (line VzG 5507), a single-track, electrified main line. The station is located at the kilometre 26.30 point, which is measured from the closed Munich terminal station of the Isar Valley Railway over a partially closed route. The service on the line is timetable route 999.7 of the Deutsche Bahn.
