History

In 1858 the railway line Rosenheim - Kufstein -Innsbruck was opened in 1876, the Kufstein railway station was built in 1980 completely replaced by a modern building for its time. The station serves as a border station between ÖBB and DB.

The station facilities were completely rebuilt in the early 1980s, the pedestrian bridge in the district of Zell was moved a few hundred meters to the south.

A few years ago a park-and- ride facility was on the west side of the station created and built lifts to the platforms. The platforms in Kufstein count of more than 740 meters, the longest in Austria.

Although the station until now has never been a node ( although several projects are well advanced ), nevertheless we can indirectly call him a point because though Inner Austrian trains along the route until shortly before the station Rosenheim, but then turn on the Rosenheim curve to Salzburg without making a stop in Germany (so-called corridor trains).
