History
Opened11 June 1847

Böhl-Iggelheim station is in the town of Böhl-Iggelheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category 5 station and it has two platforms. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN). Its address is Am Bahnhofsplatz 4.

It is located on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway, which essentially consists of the Palatine Ludwig Railway (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn, LudwigshafenBexbach). It was opened on 11 June 1847, when the LudwigshafenNeustadt section of the Ludwig Railway was put into full operation. Until the Second World War, the station was significant as a regional freight hub, but since about 1970 it has served almost entirely as a passenger station. In the meantime, it has been reconstructed as a halt (Haltepunkt). Since December 2003, it has been served by lines S1 and S2 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn. Its former entrance building is heritage listed.
