The 31-year-old woman was attacked at the station in Rosenheim, Bavaria, shortly before 01:00 local time (00:00BST). She was taken to hospital where she died as a result of “severe” injuries, the Bavarian Police said in a statement.
Officers arrested a 27-year-old German man at the scene immediately after the incident. The background and motive for the attack is under investigation, the statement added.
Police have asked anyone who may have witnessed “an argument or physical altercation” at the station late on Saturday or early on Sunday to contact them.
It is not known if the two knew each other or what the woman was doing in Bavaria, DPA also reported.
Rosenheim is one of the largest cities in Upper Bavaria and is a busy rail hub for passengers travelling to Austrian cities including Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck.
The Rosenheimer Herbstfest – an event similar to the Oktoberfest beer festival – is currently taking place in the area.
