The route from Munich to Zurich through Memmingen station is planned to be upgraded for tilting trains and electrified.

The station is located in the city centre on the eastern edge of the old town, between Kalchstraße and Lindentorstraße.

To the north there is a pedestrian underpass to Augsburger Strasse and to the south Gaswerkstraße crosses the railway tracks over an iron bridge.

A two track carriage shed with a loading ramp, a warehouse and turntable for wagons was built on the west side.

Next to the station there were sidings for passenger carriages and freight wagons and a shed for locomotives of the Royal Württemberg State Railways.

A 12-metre turntable was built in front of the engine shed, with a watering point as well as a head and a side loading ramp.

So foreign rail traffic could be generally carried out on the current tracks 11 to 13 without affecting the operations of the Royal Bavarian State Railways.

The removal of the Bavarian locomotive shed and the watering point was required to make room for this work.

Towards the end of World War II, the railway junction and the adjacent air base were the target of several raids.

Memmingen station was hit by 78 heavy bombs between signal boxes I and III .... exits to Kempten, Leutkirch and Legau were disrupted.

The power supply system for the relay interlocking in signal box II was severely damaged.

... Half of the concrete transshipment platforms in the freight hall were destroyed.On 26 April 1945, U.S. forces marched in, so the Second World War ended for Memmingen.

In 1980, an attempt was made to make up the lost ground in the transport of swap bodies with the establishment of a container yard.

The first major project was the replacement of the Augsburgerstraße level crossing with an underpass for bicycle and pedestrian traffic only, which was completed in 1999.

The platform edges, which were previously only about 20 cm high, were a significant obstacle to passengers changing trains.

A modern passenger information system replaced the antiquated train route indicator with plug-in steel plates.

Because of its high cost, Deutsche Bahn, however, did not apply this system to other similar railway buildings, so it was the only modular station.

Memmingen station has regular EuroCityExpress connections towards Munich and Zurich, as well as a daily intercity service between the Ruhr and Oberstdorf.

The Ulm–Kempten section is part of the important passenger route between Bavarian Allgäu and Baden-Württemberg in the south and central and northern Germany.

Trains meet at the station at regular intervals (on the hour) resulting in good transport connectivity in all directions.
