[1] It is much less important than Wetzlar station and is located in the north of the suburb of Dutenhofen, near the B 49.

East of the station is a junction where the Dill line to Gießen separates from the freight line that bypasses Gießen, running to the junction at Bergwald on the Main-Weser Railway.

Since 1962, signalling at the station has been controlled by a small relay interlocking,[3] which is housed in the front of the entrance building.

Between the two main tracks at the western end of the platform there is a passing loop.

In the morning peak the station is served by an RE-Sprinter service of the Main-Sieg-Express from Siegen towards Gießen, which is operated with double-deck carriages.
