The station was the site of the 1913 Bramminge train accident, when train 1029 (known as the Emigrant) servicing the route from Copenhagen to Esbjerg derailed soon after passing the station at Bramminge.

In 1916, Bramming station also became the southwestern terminus of the railway line from Bramming to Grindsted which opened on 1 December 1916 and in 1920 became a part of the new Langå-Bramming railway line.^[7] The Langå-Bramming Line was closed in 1971.^[8] Freight traffic on the section to Grindsted continued until May 2012.

Architecture

The still existing station building from 1874 was built to designs by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe, known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways.^[5]

Services

The station offers direct InterCity services to Esbjerg and Copenhagen and regional rail services to Esbjerg, Fredericia and Aarhus, both operated by the national railway company DSB,^[1] as well as regional rail services to Esbjerg, Ribe, Tønder, and Niebüll in Germany, operated by the private public transport company GoCollective.^[4]
