Zwiesel station is far more than a transport hub – it is a symbol of regional solidarity, mobility, and history. Since its opening in 1877, it has shaped the town in the Bavarian Forest and connected it to the world. With its four platform tracks and its function as a junction station, Zwiesel is the center of the so-called "Zwieseler Spider," a rail network that leads in all directions.

Between 2006 and 2013, the station was extensively modernized, and a new island platform with barrier-free access was built. The platform heights were raised to 55 cm to allow for level access. The "Zwiesel" platform canopy was first installed here and was later used at other stations. The station is centrally located at Bahnhofsplatz 3, just a few minutes' walk from the town center and the famous glass pyramid. It is the starting point for hikes, bike tours, and excursions into the Bavarian Forest National Park – a true mobility anchor for locals and tourists.
Zwiesel train station is not an anonymous transit point, but a living part of the city's history. It connects people, places, and times – and demonstrates how infrastructure can merge with identity. Those who arrive here sense that the journey doesn't begin on the train, but rather on the platform.

The train station in the glass-making town of Zwiesel was put into operation on November 15, 1877 with the Plattling–Bayerisch Eisenstein main line. Since September 1, 1890, the station has also been the starting point for the branch line to Grafenau, which further increased the importance of the station. Another branch line followed with the Zwiesel–Bodenmais railway, which was opened on September 3, 1928 and also has its starting point in Zwiesel. Due to the three railway lines, which lead in all four directions, the route network starting from the station is also known as the Zwieseler Spider.
