Dem 1860 erbauten Lorcher Bahnhof an der 1861 eingeweihten Bahnlinie von Bad Cannstatt nach Wasseralfingen verdankte die Stadt Lorch ihre Stellung als Luftkurort an der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert.

Der Anbau an der Ostseite stammt aus dem Jahr 1905. Er diente ursprünglich als Wartesaal.

(English translation:)
