Delitzsch oberer Bahnhof is situated in the south-eastern part of the town centre, south of Anna-Zammert-Straße and north of Lindenweg and the suburb of Döbernitz.

The station building was erected in the style of the Historicism, its entrance is located in the corner between the two railway lines which cross nearby.

Fast and semi-fast trains were joined or split in Eilenburg, so that both Halle and Leipzig could be served directly.

It was rehabilitated in 2007/2008 and became the seat of Theaterakademie Sachsen, a professional school for acting and theatre pedagogy, as well as a cultural venue.

Most trains are operated by Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland, some by DB Regio, and most continue to and from Eisleben, some also to and from Sangerhausen or Nordhausen.
