In 1912 Walporzheim got a new station building as a result of the re-routing of the Ahrtalbahn in the early 1910s.

After WWII the second track was lifted from Walporzheim to Hillesheim, but Walporzheim still had a goods shed and freight loop. These were removed in the 1990s when the new road was built.

Walporzheim is a good stop not only to sample the wines made a the nearby "Winzerverein", but also for a nice walk through the vineyards or to the "Silberberg"-museum, the secret cold war bunker of the german government.
