Donauwörth station

In 1861, a railway siding was built from this station to serve steam shipping on the Danube in the area of the modern Zirgesheimer Straße.

Therefore, the present Donauwörth station was built, from 1874 to 1877, in the southwest of the city and it was opened on 15 November 1877.

Donauwörth station is served several times daily by Intercity-Express and InterCity services on the line from Munich via Nuremberg and Berlin to Hamburg.

The city of Donauwörth seeks to modernise and improve the accessibility of the station by the installation of lifts on all platforms.

Another project that has long been pursued, however, is the extension of the railway underpass to the south side of the station on Industriestraße.

The old photograph shows the railway line and the north-west portal of the old railway tunnel in Donauwörth. Trains ran here until 1877 to the old Donauwörth station lying just past the tunnel.
