History

The plans for the Weinfelden station began 1853. Weinfelden was set as one of 13 stations along the railway from Lake Constance Romanshorn to Oerlikon. Immediately afterwards drove to the machinery. The station was reopened after almost two years of construction on May 16, 1855 together with the first stage of Roman horn to Winterthur by the Swiss Northeastern Railway. The station building, designed by Jakob Friedrich Wanner, who had already designed the station building of Winterthur and the Zurich main station, was completed in 1863 and 1864.

1876 Bischofszellerstrasse railway was opened to Gossau SG, officially in Weinfelden has its starting point, but only in Sulgen station branches off from the Bodensee web. 1902 reached the station in possession of the newly founded SBB. For crossing station it was removed in 1909 when the construction of the then Mittelthurgaubahn their range of Wil SG via Weinfelden began to Kreuzlingen railway station. After two years of construction, the line was opened to traffic on 18 December 1911.

The run for the takeover in SBB hands MThB former depot was abandoned in 2007.

In view of the railway in 2000, the station was subjected to a thorough renovation in 2002. The old station building was renovated and given a SBB travel center and snack bar, platforms and platform roofing have been completely rebuilt. From the artist Thomas Rutherfoord an architectural art - work in the form of dark red glossy color reliefs based on a previously precipitated because of the conversion, copper beech was designed outside the station in the course of the renovation.

The operation was converted to bus and thus the travel time between Wil and Weinfelden extended by 20 minutes. However, for a 20 -minute intervals instead of the usual hour clock ( single time to kick 1/2-h-Züge ) was offered.
