The station was opened in 1850 along on the Main-Neckar Railway, which was opened in 1846 between
Frankfurt and
Heidelberg. The plans for the entrance building were probably drawn up by the Darmstadt court architect
Georg Moller. The station is a two-storey building, originally containing railway residential and administrative spaces. It features a gable roof covered with a low pitched roof. Beneath the eaves there are small mezzanine windows. The station has three lines of windows built of yellow sandstone. The southern gable is clad in timber. On the trackside toward the roof there are cast iron columns, which were probably made in 1846. On the southwest side a small signal box house was built in 1920. There is architectural evidence that it was designed by Heinrich Metzendorf. ==Infrastructure==
