The station is located on the eastern edge of the centre of Aulendorf in the district of Ravensburg. On the western side of the station is the central bus station.
The station consists of an entrance building and several outbuildings. It has five platform tracks, tracks 1–4 and track 1a (formerly platform 13) to the south of the station.
The Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the Friedrichshafen–Ravensburg section of the Ulm–Friedrichshafen railway (Württemberg Southern Railway) in 1847 and extended it through Aulendorf to Biberach on 26 May 1849. The line was electrified in 2021.
In 1869, the Herbertingen–Isny railway was opened and Aulendorf station became the main railway junction in Upper Swabia.
The construction of the railways during a time of great distress in rural Aulendorf kept many people from starvation or emigration. The railway and the post office were the largest employer in Aulendorf at that time.
The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.[2]
