Allersberg (Rothsee) is a railway station situated at km 25.4 of the Nuremberg–Ingolstadt high-speed railway.

The station is situated about 3 km west of the Middle Franconian town Allersberg, adjacent to the A 9 motorway. Together with Kinding (Altmühltal) (km 58.6) and Ingolstadt Nord (km 86.8) it is one of three regional stations on the high-speed line. It was opened on December 6, 2006, connecting Allersberg to the rail network again 33 years after the closure of the Burgthann–Allersberg railway. The station is administrated by the station management at Nuremberg station.

Trains call at the station since December 10, 2006. Prior to that date, the railway line was exclusively used by ICE trains that did not call at Allersberg.

Allersberg is a stop for the RegionalExpress trains of the München-Nürnberg-Express service. This service stops at Allersberg every two hours, with additional trains in hourly intervals during peak times.

The station is built on a dam and equipped with two through tracks in the centre. The maximum speed on these tracks is 300 km/h (190 mph) , they are built utilising UIC 60 rails on concrete slab trackbeds. The two outer tracks are built using conventional S54 rails on gravel and are equipped with a platform each. The platforms are 170 m (560 ft) long. North of the station, a set of four points is installed.

Southbound München-Nürnberg-Express trains (to Ingolstadt and Munich) depart from platform 4, northbound trains on that line (to Nuremberg) depart from platform 1. The Allersberg-Express trains always depart from platform 1.

Both platforms are equipped with passenger shelters, a short-distance ticket machine and several ticket cancellation machines. There is no staff present on the station. The only permanent structures apart from the passenger shelters are a substation of the electronic signal box and a GSM-R transmitter.

A road tunnel and a passenger subway cross underneath the tracks. Both platforms are accessible with two stairwells and a ramp each.
