Station building


The original station building was built on the Neckar Valley Railway (Neckartalbahn) in 1872 and 1873 at Karlstor ("Charles’ Gate"), a gate at the eastern end of the old town (Altstadt). The present station building is the result of a reconstruction between 1934 and 1936. The building is a heritage-listed building.[4]

In the meantime, it has been used as a municipal office building and, since 1995, it has housed the Kulturzentrum Karlstorbahnhof (“Karlstor station cultural centre”), which was established by Mayor Beate Weber.[5] With a wide range of theatrical performances, concerts, readings and exhibitions and smaller festivals, it forms a significant part of the Heidelberg cultural landscape.


Transport services


Since 2004, the station has been a stop on the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn network and a new platform was built near the former station building for it. The station was given its present name, Heidelberg-Altstadt at the 2008/2009 timetable change on 14 December 2008.
