Since 1996, Germersheim has also been part of the area where the tickets of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar Transport Association, VRN) are accepted at a transitional rate.

[8] Since the military preferred a route on the edge of the Palatinate Forest (Pfälzerwald), this was built in the form of the Maximilian Railway between Neustadt and Wissembourg.

[9] Subsequently, a branch of this line was planned, which was primarily intended for the transport of coal to neighbouring Baden.

For this reason, Germersheim mobilised to prevent the latter project going ahead and even sent a deputation to the German Confederation in Frankfurt.

The Palatinate administration turned down the Germersheim approach, so the line from Winden to Karlsruhe was built starting in 1862.

Due to the fact that Germersheim was a fortified town, the station had to be built as a lightweight construction on trusses.

[12] Even before the connection of Germersheim to the railway network from Schifferstadt, there were proposals to build a line in the long-term to Wörth.

Due to the simultaneous planning of the Bruhrain Railway between Bruchsal and Germersheim, the decision was finally made in favour of a bypass to the east.

Above all, the military had an interest in the reconstruction and preservation of the connection to Landau and its extension to Zweibrücken during the Cold War for strategic reasons.

[17] The expectations of this project were not fulfilled, however, since the traffic flows within the Palatinate in the east–west direction had long since been concentrated on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway.

[18][15] In the course of the staged dissolution of the railway division of Mainz from 1 August 1971, its counterpart in Karlsruhe took responsibility for the station.

As the Rhine Bridge between Karlsruhe and Wörth was heavily damaged by a shipwreck on 9 June 1987, express trains of the Saarbrücken–Zweibrücken–Landau–Wörth–Karlsruhe route ran for four weeks via Germersheim.

A year later, it also became part of the area where transitional tickets of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) are valid.

As a result, tracks to the station were electrified; the platforms were upgraded at the same time to provide barrier-free entry.

One year later, the Bruhrain Railway also became part of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn, after the original plans for a Karlsruhe Stadtbahn line had been changed.

The new entrance building of the 1980s,[24] which in recent years has been increasingly neglected and was finally closed down, was bought by the city of Germersheim in 2010.

The station is equipped with an Electro-mechanical interlocking from Siemens & Halske, which was installed 1912 in a signal box operated by a dispatcher and a signalman.
