[1] The station is located on the northern edge of the historic town of Fechenheim, on a street called An der Mainkur, which connects to a set of traffic islands on the Hanauer Landstraße (“Hanau highway”) at the site of the former Main Cur customs house on the border between Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse (and earlier the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel).

The original station building was opened in 1847 during the construction of the Frankfurt-Hanau Railway.

Tickets are available only at the Rhine-Main Transport Association (Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, RMV) machines.

As part of Deutsche Bahn's extensive station modernisation program (supported by the economic stimulus package), Frankfurt Mainkur station is to be completely renovated and developed.

The Mainkur Bahnhof stop is served by tram line 11 and bus routes F-41, 44 (operated by VGF, the Frankfurt municipal transport company), 551, 560 (regional services) and N64 (a night bus route).
