It is located west of the Upper Bavarian market town of Kinding, near the A 9 at the 58.6 mark (measured from Nuremberg).

[2] A fast Regional-Express service, called the München-Nürnberg-Express, which runs at up to 200 km/h towards Nuremberg or Munich at two-hour intervals, has stopped at Kinding station since the timetable change on 10 December 2006.

At the northern end of the station towards Schellenberg Tunnel there is a crossover with four sets of points, which can be crossed by trains that are branching off at 130 km/h.

The spans of the beams, which were built as two-piece hollow boxes with a height of 2 m, are 24.5 + 30 m + 24.5 m. The oblique transition between the bridge and the embankment is noteworthy.

The Federal Railway Authority issued a special permit for this angled transition between the bridge and the embankment.

[8] On 13 June 2005, a “closing the gap" ceremony was carried out on the eastern platform to celebrate the insertion and welding of the last piece of track on the high-speed line.

For this purpose, an 11-metre-long piece of track on the northern part of platform 1 was cut out and placed by an excavator in the adjacent Schellenberg Tunnel before the ceremony.

On 4 August 2011, a Velaro E set reached a speed of 352 km/h in Kinding station during a test run.
