Goldshöfe station is a station in the German state of Baden-Württemberg at the junction of the Goldshöfe–Crailsheim railway and the Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt–Nördlingen railway. In addition to its function as a junction station it also serves the towns of Hüttlingen and Buch in the municipality of Rainau, both about two kilometres away.[3] The station was named after the nearby farmhouse of Goldshöfe, which today is part of the Aalen district of Hofen.

Infrastructure
The station building, which is T-shaped, is typical of stations built in Württemberg at the time and is built between the two lines that separate the front of the station. Each of the two sections has two platform tracks. Later both the line to Nördlingen and the line to Crailsheim are single-track, while the line from Aalen has two tracks. The platform tracks of both lines are numbered 1 and 2, and are distinguished by the prefix of "Jagst" or "Rems". In the timetable the prefixes are abbreviated to "J" and "R”. The tracks are crossed via planks crossings on the level rather than by subways. The "Rems 1" track is now closed. Until 1985 there was a rail connection from the "Rems" parts of station to the Upper Jagst Railway, which was built when the local freight yard was established.[4]
The goods shed still exists, but in the meantime it has lost its function.
