Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway
The Royal Württemberg State Railways (, KWSt.E) opened the station in 1866 on the Neckar Railway ("Neckarbahn") and Lower Jagst Railway ("Untere Jagstbahn") from Heilbronn to Osterburken in the then independent town of Jagstfeld. This route is now considered part of the Franconia Railway ("Frankenbahn"). In 1869 the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway (BadStB) opened the West Fork Railway ("Westlichen Gabelbahn", the modern Elsenz Valley Railway) to Meckenheim, connecting to Heidelberg. In 1879, it opened another line to Heidelberg, the Neckar Valley Railway, via Neckarelz and Eberbach. Jagstfeld was a border station with customs facilities.
