On the south side of Friedrichstrasse is the town park, which runs along the banks of Lake Constance, which is about 200 metres from the station.

Local highway K7739 (here called Riedleparkstraße), runs through a tunnel under the tracks to the east of the station.

This meant that the Kingdom of Württemberg had achieved its goal of completing the first railway to Lake Constance ahead of Bavaria and Baden.

On 1 October 1899, the first piece of the Bodenseegürtel Railway (Lake Constance Belt Railway) was opened from Lindau to Friedrichshafen Stadt and opened and on 2 October 1901 the line was continued from Friedrichshafen to Überlingen, which had been connected since 1895 to Singen via Radolfzell.

Two wings were added to the station building for the Bodenseegürtel Railway, which connected Bavaria, Württemberg and Baden.

[3] Passenger services on the Teuringen Valley Railway were closed on 23 May 1954 and freight traffic ended on 15 February 1960.

On the now disused Teuringen Valley Railway there was the stations of Friedrichshafen-Zahnradfabrik, Friedrichshafen-Trautenmühle, Friedrichshafen-Meistershofen, Kappelhof and Berg (b Friedrichshafen).
