Gummersbach-Dieringhausen station has existed since 1887 and it made the formerly insignificant village of Dieringhausen (now a suburb of Gummersbach) an important regional town in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

For a long time Dieringhausen station was an important railway junction in the Oberbergisches railway network and it was the most important station in the district town of Gummersbach, although it was not located in its centre.

The first station was built parallel to the county road in 1887[4] and was later used as a freight yard; it was located on the site of the former railway workshop.

A settlement for railway workers and their families was built during the development of the station.

This listing referred to a 2001 study which evaluated the entire site as worthy of heritage-listing.

Today Gummersbach-Dieringhausen station, which belongs to the Cologne diesel network, is served by Regionalbahn service RB 25 (Oberbergische Bahn) with Alstom Coradia LINT 81 railcars stopping at the remaining two platform tracks and by the museum trains of the Wiehl Valley Railway (platform track 2).
