Geography
Established at 187 meters above the sea level, the Saverne station is located at the kilometric point 458.011 of the Noisy-le-Sec–Strasbourg railway, between the former stations of Stambach and Zornhoff-Monswiller. The nearest open travellers stations are located in Lutzelbourg and Steinbourg.
Being a former bifurcation station, it was the terminus of the Sélestat–Saverne railway, located at the kilometric point 64.840. This line was later downgraded and left between the stations of Molsheim and Saverne.
The Kuhn company's factory has its own siding at the Saverne station.
History
The Saverne station was put in operation on May 29, 1851 by the Stasbourg–Basel railway company, when the latter officially opened, with staff and equipment, the operating of the railway section between Strasbourg and Sarrebourg located on the future Strasbourg–Paris railway. The inauguration of this section took place on May 18; however, the Paris–Strasbourg railway company, which suffered from a lack of well-trained railway workers, entrusted the operation to Stasbourg–Basel railway company, which had more experience.
The line between Saverne and Molsheim was opened in 1877. It was successively operated by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est (Eastern railway company), the Direction générale impériale des chemins de fer d'Alsace-Lorraine (General Imperial Direction of railways in Alsace-Lorraine), and then by the Administration des chemins de fer d'Alsace et de Lorraine (Management of railways in Alsace and Lorraine).
On January 1, 1938, the Saverne station became a property of the new French railway company (SNCF). Then, because of the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine in 1940, it was operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, as well as the whole railway network in Alsace and Lorraine.
In March 1969, the railway travellers service between Saverne and Molsheim was closed.
The Saverne station is served by TGV (high-speed train) since 2007, after the opening of the first phase of the European LGV Est line.
