Asperg station was opened as the only stop for the time being on this approximately nine and a half kilometre long stretch.
The road leading to the station initially remained unpaved and was barely passable in bad weather.
A new branch line that passed south of Asperg would support a new industrial park, connected with sidings, and provide an incentive for the establishment of large companies.
The councilors praised the good neighbourly relations between the citizens of the two towns and gave their support to the municipality of Markgröningen.
The two petitions failed to produce the desired result, since the project was still in competition with a proposal for a branch line starting in Ludwigsburg, eventually leading to the construction of the Ludwigsburg–Markgröningen railway.
Left of the entrance were the main hall for ticketing and express freight and baggage-handling behind a small waiting room.
The post office, which had been housed since 1877 in the town hall, was now located in the northern part of the station building.
A stone plaque on the outside wall of the entrance portal commemorates the suffering of the many innocent people that began at the station.
On 10 November 1950, Deutsche Bundesbahn electrified the Ludwigsburg–Bietigheim section, which had had a third track since 1940, making possible an improved suburban services between Asperg and Stuttgart.
