[1] It has three platforms and it is in the area where fares are set by the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar Transport Association, VRN).

During the planning for the high-speed railway in 1973, provision was made for an operations station in the Hockenheim area (at the 19.0 kilometre point).

Bundesstraße 36 (federal highway 36) was included in the infrastructure bundle, which was intended to minimise environmental impacts.

[4] According to Deutsche Bahn, the noise of the town has been reduced to a quarter by the bundling of the routes together and additional mitigation measures.

[13] One of the first (initially experimental) electronic interlockings built in Germany (class El S) was opened at the station in 1988.

[14] Special functions for new high-speed lines, which were not to be found on the existing network, were tested at the signal box there in preparation for their approval and use in electronic interlocking in Germany.

[15] After a positive outcome of the test of operations, the “second stage” of the Hockenheim electronic interlocking was installed and the storage area on the north half of the new line (50 km) was developed.
