The station is located on the eastern edge of the centre of Aulendorf in the district of Ravensburg.

The construction of the railways during a time of great distress in rural Aulendorf kept many people from starvation or emigration.

The railway and the post office were the largest employer in Aulendorf at that time.

Aulendorf is also the starting point of hourly Bodensee-Oberschwaben-Bahn (BOB) services towards Friedrichshafen.

The station building has a ticket office, a bakery and a kiosk, but no toilet.
