The town then had about 850 inhabitants and was selected as one of eleven waterering points and stations for handling fast freight between Augsburg and Lindau.

Similarly, there was a 35-metre long carriage shed, where minor repairs could be made.

The original brick station building opened in 1848 was built by local craftsmen.

It includes a counter, which is open each day, a kiosk and a small waiting area.

The cost of the project was estimated at around €2 million, of which the municipality of Buchloe was to cover significantly more than €500,000.
