Freudenstadt Hauptbahnhof is located on the southeastern edge of the city, where Bahnhofstraße meets Dietersweiler Straße.

In the station building there is a Deutsche Bahn ticket office, a bakery and a kiosk.

Platform 1 mainly serves Stadtbahn traffic towards Karlsruhe (Murg Valley Railway, Murgtalbahn) and track 2 handles all traffic on the Eutingen im Gäu–Schiltach railway line towards Eutingen im Gäu and Stuttgart.

Some Stadtbahn trips (from Karlsruhe continuing to Eutingen in Gäu and vice versa) also operate from platform 2.

Services on the Eutingen im Gäu–Schiltach railway line towards Hausach and Offenburg mainly use track 3.
