The station was opened with the Ludwigshafen–Neustadt section of the Ludwig Railway on 11 June 1847.
Because the stations in Rheingönheim and Mundenheim were not opened until a few decades later, it was the second last station from the west before the terminus in Ludwigshafen.
Mutterstadt was connected from 1890 to the narrow-gauge Ludwigshafen–Dannstadt railway; for this reason, the station on the Ludwigsbahn was unofficially often referred to as Mutterstadt Hauptbahnhof.

In 1922, the station was integrated into the newly founded Reichsbahndirektion (Reichsbahn railway division) of Ludwigshafen.
Starting from about 1900, the immediate catchment area of the station developed into a residential area at the initiative of BASF and on 1 January 1930 became an independent municipality as Limburgerhof.
As a result the station’s name was changed to Limburgerhof.
During the dissolution of the railway division of Ludwigshafen on 1 April 1937, it was transferred to the railway division of Mainz.
