The Albtalbahn is a railway line from Karlsruhe via Ettlingen to Bad Herrenalb. Since its switch from meter to standard gauge and its link with the Karlsruher tram, it forms the basis for the Karlsruhe light rail network and was a model for linking regional railway lines with urban trams in other European cities. The route is named after the river Alb, which accompanies it along its entire length. The Albtalbahn is operationally and historically closely linked to the branch line Busenbach-Ittersbach, which in turn originally formed with the Pforzheimer Kleinbahn from Ittersbach to Pforzheim a company unit.

On January 1, 1915, the Albtalbahnhof, then still with another building but already at its present location, opened. 45 years later it was demolished to make room for a new building. Today the Albtalbahnhof is one of the linking points of the inner-city Karlsruher streetcar network and the light rail lines running into the surrounding area. It is ideal for taking the train to nearby villages and towns and then going for walks or cycling tours.
