Schwaikheim station

Schwaikheim station is located in Schwaikheim at the 6.8 kilometre point of the Waiblingen–Schwäbisch Hall railway in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and is a station on the Stuttgart S-Bahn network.
In the 1860s, engineers were planning a railway line from Waiblingen to Backnang. They worked initially on two proposals. The first would have meant a line running via Korb to Winnenden. The second proposal was to the extent the line as far as possible through the Rems valley, leaving it near Großheppach to turn to the north. Ultimately, the decision was made to build a viaduct over the Rems at Neustadt and use the current route, which runs on a lower and more westerly alignment than either of the original proposals. Schwaikheim Schultheiß Gebhard Friedrich Simon, who at that time sat as a deputy in the Württemberg parliament, campaigned strongly for a rail connection for his home town.
