Schwäbisch Hall Station is located just to the south-west of Hall's old town at the top of the drop from an old southwestern meander of the Kocher river (Bahnhofsbucht, meaning "station bay") to the lower slope of the modern river and is about 30 metres above the river level. The terrain was partly filled to a quite high level for the construction of railway facilities. The station stands on a terrace with steep slope to Steinbacher Straße, which runs parallel with it.
