Previously, you had all freight trains in Stuttgart Central Station turn, as the predecessor of the main railway station is just been like this a railhead.

In its opening on October 1, 1896, the route was single track, with the base and the engineering structures were already prepared for a second track. Due to increasing traffic volumes, the government introduced on 23 January 1902 the requirement to provide one million marks for the construction of the second track. In winter 1901/1902 inverted daily around 50 freight and passenger trains five. With different laws from the years 1902, 1903 and 1905, a total of 1.8 million marks have been approved for the project. On September 23, 1904, the second track was put into operation.

The 266 m long viaduct over the Zazenhausener Feuerbach was how about the Neckar, replaced in 1980 by a concrete building located in parallel. The supply routes were laid. Therefore, the stop at lying in the feeding station Zazenhausen had to be moved to a south-west to new breakpoint, which lies right at the intersection ( underpass ) the U7 Stadtbahn Stuttgart. The transfer distances to the nearest stops are about 300 to 400 meters long.

The end of 2010 the station Ebitzweg subway line U13 was put into operation. It exists between the two directly adjacent stations on the same short distance a pedestrian connection.
