Böhl and
Iggelheim. The coal trader Schmitt in Iggelheimer Straße even had its own siding. Other freight handling involved mainly vegetables, livestock and building materials of all kinds. The local industry in particular benefited from the station. Large goods consignments were wood for shoring up mines from the Lenz company, bicycles from the Schwarz company and goods from the Schöffler paint factory. From 1933 onwards, the station had its own small locomotive for marshalling the numerous freight wagons to be removed.

After the construction of the third track in 1923 the station was enlarged. This resulted in an underpass, a signal box towards
Schifferstadt and a new large wooden ramp for freight loading. Coal was particularly important for freight operations in Böhl, as there were a total of seven coal traders in

In
November 1844, railway construction started in the Böhl district and in the neighbouring communities with the provision of information to the owners of affected properties that set out the requirement that they make their boundaries clearly visible. Seven owners in Böhl were initially not ready to

At first, it was unclear whether this should run through the area of the then autonomous municipalities of Böhl and
Iggelheim. Speyer, the capital of the Palatinate, fought to become the eastern terminus of the route. It was argued essentially that the cathedral city was an old trading town, whereas

The village’s post office was also installed in the new station. In 1907, however, the municipality asked for the post office to be moved to the town centre, but the postal authorities in Speyer insisted on it staying in the station, partly because the route from the town centre to the station was

The station had been built together with a crossing keeper’s house. In the autumn of 1847, a loading ramp was built for cattle for fattening and for sale and in the subsequent period there were further minor structural changes to the installations. In 1868, there were signalmen’s houses, but they

After the war, the station soon gained importance as a freight hub for local industry, especially the companies of Garthe and Orth, which uses the railway to transport their goods. However, freight handling soon fell again as the companies preferred to use road freight. As a result of this

Railway was put into full operation. Until the Second World War, the station was significant as a regional freight hub, but since about 1970 it has served almost entirely as a passenger station. In the meantime, it has been reconstructed as a halt

Rheinschanze, which was alternatively proposed as the end of the line, would only serve the transit of goods as it was merely a military base. However, these endeavours did not succeed as the main focus of attention was on the Rhine-Neckar region – especially on

Originally it was planned to build a railway station only in the neighbouring towns of
Schifferstadt and Haßloch. However, it was subsequently agreed to also provide Böhl with a station. Due to the importance for the neighbouring town of Iggelheim, it was named

On 1 August 1971, the station came under the jurisdiction of the railway division of
Karlsruhe with the dissolution of the railway division of Mainz. Subsequently, the classification of the station was reduced to a halt.
