The station is located in the network area of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar Transport Association, VRN).

It lost this function when the traffic on the latter between Schönenberg-Kübelberg and Glan-Münchweiler was discontinued in the early 1980s and the tracks were subsequently dismantled.

To the north of the station area is the Haupstraße (main street) coming from the west, to the east of the line is Namen Mühlstraße.

Just south of the entrance building there is a parking area for camping vans and the local volunteer fire service.

The Glan-Blies Way cycling and hiking trail passes just to the east of the station, running to the south along the former Glan Valley Railway to Waldmohr and to the north over long sections of the now dismantled second track of the line to Kusel.

After the opening of the Glan Valley Railway, the Glan-Münchweiler–Altenglan section was integrated with it, and initially the chainage started in the west from Scheidt and ran via Glan-Münchweiler and Altenglan to Bad Münster and the chainage at Glan-Münchweiler station was accordingly fixed at 45.6 km.

[2][12] In the early 1860s, the towns of Ramstein and Kusel, which at the time were part of the Kingdom of Bavaria, formed committees to promote the construction of a railway.

In the memorandum, it was argued that, among other things, the railway construction would improve the rather poor economic and social conditions of the region.

Cuttings were only necessary in the country around Rammelsbach, where the work force encountered a diorite deposit, which was mined in the following years and gave an additional impetus to rail transport.

On this day, a special train also ran from Ludwigshafen to Kusel, which carried, apart from officials of the Palatinate Railway (Pfalzbahn), the former Bavarian Minister of State for Trade and Public Works, Gustav Schlör.

In addition, the border between Bavaria and Prussia in the middle and lower Glan valley, especially from Altenglan to Staudernheim, was very irregular, making construction difficult.

As Alsace and Lorraine were incorporated in the German Empire in 1871 as a result of the Franco-Prussian War, the fear that France would start another war in order to regain Alsace-Lorraine developed in Germany and some argued for a railway in the north-south direction along the Glan for strategic military reasons.

[19] Towards the end of the nineteenth century Bavaria finally abandoned its resistance to the construction of a strategic railway, as Franco-German relations had deteriorated significantly in the meantime.

After an option running to the south-east was eliminated, the plan for a railway from Mainz via Bad Münster along the Glan, sharing the Kusel line between Altenglan and Glan-Münchweiler was adopted.

[26] In 1975, Deutsche Bundesbahn applied to formally close freight operations between Glan-Münchweiler and Schönenberg-Kübelberg from 31 December 1975, but this was initially refused.

[28] In order to prevent the operation of local train services, DB removed several hundred metres of track from the section in 1984 without going through a formal closure procedure.

[30] Subsequently Glan-Münchweiler was closed for freight operations and the number of tracks at the station was reduced to two.

A committee was formed in 1994, which had the ultimate goal of reactivating the Glan Valley Railway between Homburg and Glan-Münchweiler.

[31] In 2000, like the entire Western and Anterior Palatinate, the station became part of the area of the newly established Westpfalz-Verkehrsverbundes (Western Palatinate Transport Association, WVV), until it was absorbed six years later into the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar Transport Association, VRN).

[32] On 18 May 2002, the Glan-Blies-Weg cycling and hiking trail was opened on the now dismantled line between Waldmohr and Glan-Münchweiler; it was gradually completed during the 2001–2006 period.

[34] This included the rebuilding of the platforms that enabled barrier-free access to trains with a height of 55 centimetres above the rail, the renewal of the lighting, the signals and the telephones, the demolition of the pedestrian bridge running over the railway tracks, the construction of new shelters and the erection of a new access to platform 2.

[49] In 1965 two pair of express services were established between Zweibrücken and Mainz, running via the Glan Valley Railway and stopping in Glan-Münchweiler.

[26][29] Since 2006, the station is served hourly by the Glantalbahn (Regionalbahn 67) service and is incorporated in the fare system of the VRN.

Unlike at many other stations on the Glan Valley Railway and the line to Kusel, freight transport played a minor role at Glan-Münchweiler.

[41] In 1920, a local freight train (Nahgüterzug) ran from Kaiserslautern to Kusel and another ran from Ebernburg freight yard on the Alsenz Valley Railway along the Glan Valley Railway serving all stations between Lauterecken-Grumbach and Homburg.
