The design is affected by the site's extreme slope: the street is two storeys above platform level.

The pedestrian bridge that connects the entrance building on the street with the two external platforms was closed in the autumn of 2008 due to disrepair; it was last painted in 1965.

The steps from this crossing towards the Friedberg end of the platform was blocked for several years before being replaced by a bridge connecting to a ramp to Thielenstraße.

There is a pedestrian bridge over the tracks next to Maybachbrücke (part of Eschersheimer Landstraße, an arterial road).

There are also ground-level entrances to the platforms, which will be removed in the planned upgrade of the line to four tracks, which will create one central platform with access from Maybachbrücke with stairs on both sides of the road bridge and a single lift on the north-eastern side.
