History

The Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the Friedrichshafen–Ravensburg section of the Ulm–Friedrichshafen railway (Württemberg Southern Railway) in 1847 and extended it through Aulendorf to Biberach on 26 May 1849. The line was electrified in 2021.

In 1869, the Herbertingen–Isny railway was opened and Aulendorf station became the main railway junction in Upper Swabia.

The construction of the railways during a time of great distress in rural Aulendorf kept many people from starvation or emigration. The railway and the post office were the largest employer in Aulendorf at that time.
