context_page_description: Glan-Münchweiler station is the station of the town of Glan-Münchweiler in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 6 station and has two platforms and sidings. The station is located in the network area of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar and it is in fare zone 772 and 811. The address of the station is Bahnhofstraße 3.
  It was created on 22 September 1868 as a through station with the opening of the Landstuhl–Kusel railway. With the completion of the Glan Valley Railway, running from Homburg to Bad Münster, on 1 May 1904, which was built as a strategic railway, it became a junction station. It lost this function when the traffic on the latter between Schönenberg-Kübelberg and Glan-Münchweiler was discontinued in the early 1980s and the tracks were subsequently dismantled.
context_section_description: The station received a two and a half storey entrance building at its opening, built in the style of the other Palatine stations that were built in the 1860s and 1870s, inspired and equipped accordingly with external plasterwork. In accordance with the importance of the station it has a relatively large gable facing the tracks and the street and corresponded as far as possible the station buildings of Altenglan and Kusel, which were also built at the time of the construction of the line. It has two and a half floors that were originally equipped with rooms for staff accommodation and administrative offices. Directly next to it there was a two-storey goods shed, which was created with the slope of the roof facing the track.
  Both the station and the goods shed experienced some structural changes and the latter was also expanded in the coming decades. There was a wooden porch at the western end of the station building, which was pulled down in the 1990s. The station building is no longer used for rail operations. It is, privately owned and has been restored along with its immediate environment.
