The station is located on the territory of the municipality of Finnentrop in the district of Olpe.

[5] Located in the village of Neubrucke, it was called Finnentrop after a nearby estate and the district was given the same name in 1908.

This was replaced by a new building in 1898 because of increasing traffic and then served until its demolition in 1937 as housing for railway families.

[5] A locomotive depot was built in the 1870s in conjunction with the building of the branch lines to Olpe and Wennemen.

[6] Together with Altenhundem, the station gradually developed into one of the operating centres of the Ruhr–Sieg line.

[9] In 2002, the Deutsche Bahn AG installed a ticket machine in the station building.

[16] The depot also had a decontamination facility for cleaning and disinfecting livestock wagons.
