Altenglan station

Altenglan station is a railway facility with two platform tracks serving as a transportation hub within the Deutsche Bahn network. The building is located in the town of Altenglan and connects the region to other areas through regular train service.

The station opened on September 22, 1868, bringing rail connections for the first time to the western North Palatinate region toward Kusel. This connection played an important role in developing and connecting these areas during the 19th century.

The station building shows neoclassical features typical of how railway stations looked across the Palatinate region during the 19th century. You can still see these architectural details in the facade and design when you visit today.

The station has real-time train information displays and bicycle parking for travelers. The facility is also equipped with accessibility features for people with limited mobility.

Since 2000, the station serves as the southern endpoint for a recreational draisine operation running to Staudernheim. These rides on hand-powered rail vehicles offer an unusual way to explore the landscape between the two towns.
