Heidelberg-Altstadt station

The station building features two platforms with direct access to the eastern edge of Heidelberg's old town near the historic Karlstor gate.

Originally constructed between 1872 and 1873 on the Neckar Valley Railway, the current structure emerged from a complete reconstruction during 1934 to 1936.

Since 1995, the station houses the Kulturzentrum Karlstorbahnhof, offering regular performances, concerts, exhibitions, and festivals throughout the year.

The Category 4 station operates daily from early morning until midnight, providing regular connections to Mannheim, Frankfurt, Kaiserslautern, and Mosbach Baden.

The station changed its name from Heidelberg Karlstor to Heidelberg-Altstadt in December 2008, reflecting its position within the old town district.
