It is the terminus of the Katzbach Railway (Katzbachbahn) running from Bruchsal to Odenheim and is served by line S31 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn.

In the first years of operation, both passenger and the freight traffic developed positively, which led to the original line being extended from 3 September 1900 from Odenheim to Hilsbach.

DEBG managed to restore operations on the two lines that had closed due to the effects of the Great Depression.

DEBG transferred, with effect from 1 May 1963, both lines to the Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (Southwest German Railway Company, SWEG).

In order to preserve both the Katzbach and the neighbouring Kraichtal lines from total closure, the Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (Alb Valley Transport Company, AVG) took over both sections from the SWEG in 1994.
