The station is located in the district of Rosengarten in the city of Frankfurt (Oder) to the west of the urban area.

A line, which ran through the Frankfurt commercial area of Seefichten, located northwest of the centre of the city, ended at the station until 2010.

During the building of the line from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) in 1841/42, the section through the village of Rosengarten created particular difficulties.

The line climbs out of the valley of the Spree from the west, reaching its highest point at Rosengarten and then falls rapidly towards the Oder.

The original plan of August Leopold Crelle was modified by the head foreman of the construction, Carl-Friedrich Zimpel in the Rosengarten area so that the ridge could be crossed at a lower point.

A location on the main line from Berlin between Rosengarten and Frankfurt was dropped because of the steep slope.

Between the two through tracks there is an island platform, which is connected by a staircase at its west end to the road bridge.

There used to be a separate pedestrian bridge from the north of the tracks to a station building on the hillside next to the platform.

As of 2022, the station and surrounding streets have been closed to allow for the construction of an elevator for easier access, after complaints from prominent residents of Rosengarten.
