Bochum-Dahlhausen station is located in the Dahlhausen district of Bochum in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

When the line was extended to Hattingen in 1866, a small station building was built in Dahlhausen.

The communities of Dahlhausen and Linden were involved in the construction of a new station building that was completed in 1875.

[2][3] Consequently, in 1913 the Prussian state railways division at Essen (Königlich-Preußische Eisenbahndirektion Essen) began building a larger station that it had been planning since 1910 on the double-track Dahlhausen–Steele line behind a levy bank to prevent flooding by the Ruhr.

[4] In addition to the passenger station, Dahlhausen had a marshalling yard, which is now completely dismantled.

It is planned to modernise and rebuild Bochum-Dahlhausen station to make it accessible for the disabled from 2014, at a cost of €4.3 million.
