Weilburg station

Weilburg station is a railway facility and protected heritage monument in the town of Weilburg along the Lahn Valley Railway, with a neoclassical entrance building featuring clear 19th-century architectural details. The building sits at a transport hub where regional trains and buses meet to serve the valley and surrounding areas.

The station opened in 1862 as a terminus of the Lahn Valley Railway and later expanded to serve additional routes connecting the wider region. This foundational role in the area's transport development remains central to its purpose today.

The station building reflects architectural choices that German railway companies favored during industrial expansion in the 19th century. Its classical forms shape how the place looks today and are immediately visible to visitors.

Visitors can travel to destinations like Limburg and Gießen using regional trains, or use the bus connections at the front plaza to reach smaller towns in the Lahn valley. Allow time to explore the different transport options and check current schedules at the ticket counters or information points on site.

A 302-meter railway tunnel runs directly adjacent to the station, part of a remarkable tunnel system that also houses separate passages for road and canal traffic. This engineering solution is rarely noticed by passing travelers but reveals how the site addresses complex transport needs below ground.
