The Neuerburgertunnel was part of the Pronsfeld-Neuerburg railway line, also known as the Enztalbahn, a branch line in the Eifel that ran from Pronsfeld station on the Westeifelbahn to Neuerburg. The route initially led uphill from Pronsfeld before following the River Enz from Arzfeld to Neuerburg. The railway opened on July 6, 1907, along with the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. During World War II, the routes were severely damaged and traffic did not resume until October 17, 1949. Passenger service on the branch line was discontinued on June 1, 1969, and freight service ceased on May 18, 1989. Today, the former route is used as part of the Enztal cycle path. The Neuerburg-Zweifelscheid cycle path was opened in 2002 and the Zweifelscheid-Arzfeld section in 2005. The rest of the route was extended to Lünebach in 2007 and connected to the cycle path on the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. Since the autumn of 2011, the cycle path has been completely asphalted.
