Altenglan station

Altenglan station opened on 22 September 1868 as a through-station on the Landstuhl–Kusel railway line and is today a listed cultural monument. Its operational significance peaked in 1904, when the opening of the Glan Valley Railway — built for military-strategic reasons — turned it into a junction station serving two lines in the Rhineland-Palatinate hill country. That role diminished once the section toward Lauterecken-Grumbach was closed. The modest Gründerzeit-era station building survives as a quiet record of 19th-century railway expansion in the Palatinate region, still serving two platform tracks within the Rhine-Neckar transport network.
