Memmingen station in the city of Memmingen in the German state of Bavaria. The current station building had two predecessors, with the original being opened in 1862. The Buchloe–Memmingen and the Leutkirch–Memmingen railways meet the Neu-Ulm–Kempten railway (Iller Valley Railway) in Memmingen. The route from Munich to Zurich through Memmingen station is planned to be upgraded for tilting trains and electrified. The station is designed to be accessible. For some time various parties have sought another railway stop at Schulzentrum West (school centre west) for about 3,500 students.

Maximilianstraße starts outside the station from Bahnhofstraße (station street) which runs west of the station.
