The junction with the Rebstock curve of the former Bad Nauheim–Wiesbaden line (Bäderbahn) is south of the station.

At the personal request of the Emperor, the capacity of the entire route from Frankfurt to Friedberg and Friedrichsdorf was increased, including the duplication of the line from 1907 to 1910.

On 1 September 1905, a link was opened through the Frankfurt vineyards (Rebstockgelände), initially only for freight and special trains.

From the summer of 1954 there was a regular interval timetable on the lines to Kronberg and Bad Homburg, with trains running every half-hour.

Since the Taunusbahn became part of the FVV in 1993, trains have run on it to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, stopping in Rödelheim.

The original reception building of the new Rödelheim station is preserved and it includes a bakery.

[6] The station was extensively renovated in 2012, including the platforms, pedestrian tunnel and the addition of ramps and lists for improved accessibility for wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility.
