via the old route) on the Gäu Railway and is a station in the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn
.
opened the Gäu Railway from Stuttgart to Freudenstadt in September 1879, many residents of Rohr saw only the drawbacks of the new system of transport. Some farmers had been dispossessed for the line and believed the railway would bring only noise and odours. But when industrialisation began in the neighbouring village of Vaihingen
and commuters from Rohr took advantage of its station, people learned of rail's advantages.

The line to Echterdingen has branched off 600 metres south of the station since October 1920. In 1935 the station was renamed Rohr (b Stuttgart). A year later, on 1 October 1936 the community of Rohr was incorporation in the Vaihingen auf den Fildern. This led to a second name change to Vaihingen-Rohr. In 1942, Vaihingen was incorporated into Stuttgart and the name was changed to Stuttgart-Rohr.
From 1982, Deutsche Bundesbahn
began to upgrade the Gäu Railway to four tracks between the junction with the Verbindungsbahn
(the underground section of the Stuttgart S-Bahn) and the branch to Echterdingen. This expansion was completed in 1984, leading to the demolition of the station building. The two outer platforms were replaced by a central platform.
