[5] The private Kaiserstuhl Railway was opened from Breisach to Gottenheim via Endingen and Riegel on 15 December 1894.

In the 1970s, Deutsche Bundesbahn considered closing the line to Breisach due to its alleged unprofitability, but this did not happen.

[6] It was resold in 2010 to a Gottenheim investor, who extensively renovated the building and largely retained the historical features from the early days of the station.

A restaurant called Gerome’s Canadian Coffee Lounge was installed on the ground floor.

Thee Breisgau-S-Bahn, the operator of regional rail services in the Freiburg area, connects Gottenheim every half hour with Freiburg and Breisach over the Freiburg–Colmar railway and with some Kaiserstuhl communities on the Kaiserstuhl Railway (running as far as Bahlingen every half hour).
