History
The line opened in 1844.
Since June 2007 TGV Trains run from Paris Est to Strasbourg, Stuttgart and Munich. Therefore, since 10 June 2007 the Ortenau-S-Bahn has operated railcars every hour (and sometimes every half-hour) between Offenburg and Strasbourg. This change extended previous services to Strasbourg including services formerly ending in Kehl.
