The station was opened on 11 July 1870 in the course of extending the East Rhine line from Neuwied to Oberkassel and at the same time as the establishment of the Bonn–Oberkassel train ferry.

After the closure of the train ferry in 1919, the station retained its function, since it continued to handle the freight of a cement factory.

With the decline and final closing down of the cement factory in 1987,[5] the station's freight facilities (several sidings and loading ramps) also lost their importance.

The planned extension of S-Bahn line 13 from Troisdorf to Oberkassel (connecting to Cologne/Bonn Airport at 20-minute intervals) will increase the importance of the station.

This plan requires the construction of additional tracks and a turn-back facility for S-Bahn trains, involving extensive work.
