History

The Stuttgart Beer Festival since the 19th century, a fairground and exhibition grounds. 1928 replaced the city of Stuttgart to date the State of Württemberg belonging Wasen against surfaces on Burgholzhof. On the site, which served among other things as a parade ground, a large new stadium to be built. The connection to the new sports venue proved to be a problem, because neither the station nor the lay in Cannstatt in Untertürkheim close enough for arriving visitors.

Karl Schaechterle of the Reichsbahn Stuttgart was planning a new railway station for special trains on the Eastern Railway, the Wasen station. In addition to platforms at suburban tracks of the Eastern Railway, a platform should be established to the remote tracks. For the trains running on the Schuster trains from Kornwestheim one of deeper platform would be available. To route the coming of Waiblingen trains to him, this would have had to branch off at the Remsbahnkurve to Untertürkheimer goods station. Another, slightly elevated platform was provided for the shuttle to Stuttgart Central Station. However Schaechterle could not realize his extensive vision that Reichsbahn refused.
