Altenburg-Rheinau (German: Bahnhof Altenburg-Rheinau) was a railway station in the municipality of Jestetten in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, serving the villages of Altenburg (Jestetten municipality) and Rheinau in the Swiss canton of Zurich. It was located between Jestetten and Neuhausen Rheinfall on the border crossing Eglisau–Neuhausen railway line, which is owned and operated by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). The station, which opened in 1897, was last called at by the S22 service of Zürich S-Bahn until it was closed in 2010 due to low passenger frequency, despite protests from the German authorities.[1][2][3][4][5]
