Am 22. September 1894 wurde die 18,7 Kilometer lange Strecke Dessau–Wörlitz von der Dessau-Wörlitzer-Eisenbahn (DWE) eröffnet. 1908 wurde in Oranienbaum die Zschornewitzer Kleinbahn nach Golpa angeschlossen. Am 7. Oktober 1934 wurde die Stammstrecke um weitere fünf Kilometer bis zum Bahnhof Gohrau-Rehsen in der Gemeinde Gohrau verlängert.

Der Wörlitzer Bahnhof lag rund 300 Meter östlich des Dessauer Hauptbahnhofes. 2002 wurde das Empfangsgebäude des Bahnhofes vom Umweltbundesamt übernommen. Das gesamte Gelände des Wörlitzer Bahnhofes wurde dann in den folgenden Jahren mit dem neuen Umweltbundesamt überbaut.

Die Wörlitzer Eisenbahn fährt aber weiterhin und hat zwei neugestalltete Schienenbusse erhalten.
