Deutsche Reichsbahn built a station on the Württemberg Black Forest line for the approximately 1,500 residents southeast of the settlement on Schwieberdinger Straße, the former route of national route (Reichsstraße) 10 (now federal highway 10).

In 1940, electrical operations commenced between Stuttgart Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and Weil der Stadt.

After World War II, an important industrial centre developed in the area around Schwieberdinger Straße.

In 1950, Porsche KG, which had re-established itself after the war in Gmünd, Austria, returned to Stuttgart by establishing its headquarters in Zuffenhausen.

The station is served by line S 6 and S 60 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn and in the peak hour by services of the Württemberg Railway Company (Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, WEG).
