Karlsruhe Albtalbahnhof is a railway station in Karlsruhe, Germany, next to the Karlsruhe main station. The station is of particular importance for the city as well as for the main train station as it connects the city's tram network with the regional and long-distance rail network of DB Netz. The station is the starting station of the Alb Valley Railway, after which it was named.
History
In the 1880s, plans were made for a local railway line that would connect Karlsruhe with Ettlingen and the Alb valley. The meter-gauge line from Karlsruhe to Ettlingen opened on December 1, 1897, with extensions to Herrenalb and Ittersbach following in 1898 and 1899. The local railway line was operated by the Badische Lokal-Eisenbahnen AG (BLEAG). Originally, the Alb valley station in 1897 was located on Ettlinger Straße at the level of today's Nowackanlage and Messplatz, where the Kongresszentrum underground station is today. That is south of where the Karlsruhe main station was originally located, which was then located at the Ettlinger Tor.
On April 18, 1958, the conversion of the tracks from meter-gauge to standard gauge was completed.
Services
The station is served by several Karlsruhe tramway network lines of the Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft. Other trains use the station only as a connection between the rail networks.
