[1] Although the city of Höchst was incorporated in Frankfurt in 1928, the official name of the station from its opening in 1967 was Farbwerke Hoechst ("Hoechst dye works"), but since the closure of the dye works, the station has been renamed Frankfurt-Höchst Farbwerke.

In addition to its use by employees of the Industrial Park the station also benefits from its proximity to the Centennial Hall (Jahrhunderthalle), which is used for concerts and conferences, and the Fraport Arena.

It is responsible for controlling signalling and points at the stations of Frankfurt-Höchst, Frankfurt-Sindlingen, Hattersheim (Main), Frankfurt-Zeilsheim and Kriftel.

In the immediate vicinity of the station, north of the through tracks, there is a maintenance centre for passenger trains, including a washing facility.

Four times a day regional services operating as SE 20 (Main-Lahn-Bahn) stop at Frankfurt-Höchst Farbwerke station to give a faster trip to commuters from the Taunus.
