Until 1983, Ehrang station was also the starting point of the Trier West Railway to Igel that connected with Wasserbillig / Luxembourg.

Ehrang station was opened in 1870 by the Rhenish Railway Company (Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft).

The station building at Ehrang resembled those along this line, which were each built as small "palaces" (Schlösser).

These were financed from the money that France had to pay as reparations to Germany after the Franco-Prussian War.

The entrance building is still largely in its original state, although it is no longer owned by Deutsche Bahn.
