In 1908, a ropeway conveyor with a length of 3 km was built from the nearby Fortuna iron ore mine to the station.

The ore mined there was transported by rail to blast furnaces in the Ruhr area.

From 1912, the Solmsbach Valley Railway branched off at Albshausen station towards Graevenwiesbach via Brandoberndorf.

Deutsche Bahn operates Regionalbahn services on the Lahn Valley Railway between Limburg and Gießen, some continuing to Alsfeld and Fulda.

Since the timetable change of 2011/2012 on 11 December 2011, the RB services on this section of the Lahn Valley Railway have been operated by Hessische Landesbahn.
