The station is located about one kilometre from the city centre. The inner city can be reached by buses operated by Busverkehr Rhein-Neckar (BRN) in five minutes.

History

The station was opened on 11 June 1847 together with the Schifferstadt–Wörth line. On 10 December 1873, it became the terminus of the Heidelberg–Speyer line, which was closed in 1945 after the destruction of the bridge over the Rhine. Between 1905 and 1956 the Neustadt–Speyer Local Railway ran between Speyer and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse.

On 16 December 1944 it was the target of an air attack that destroyed the station building and it was rebuilt in 1953.

Architecture

Today's reception building was built in the 1950s. The old building had to be demolished after its bombing in 1944. Temporary buildings were built, which were then replaced in the style of the time.

The station building was renovated in November 2009 to October 2010. During the renovation energy demand and CO₂
