Trains ran on this line between Dietzenbach (Hess) station and Offenbach Hauptbahnhof.

Passenger services on the line were discontinued on 18 June 1982, because traffic on it had been significantly affected by increasing car ownership.

The line was then used only for a small amount of freight traffic and the rail passenger services were replaced by buses.

The so-called Rathaus-Center (town hall centre) is located about 500 metres from the station.

The line continues as two tracks from the northern end of the platform to Dietzenbach-Steinberg station.
