During the 1930s it was given a new station building, entry signals and accommodation for the track maintenance gang.

The station was only manned by a stationmaster during the summer half-year because, in the winter, no trains ran on the Brocken Railway.

Since that time its facilities have only consisted of a garden bench and an operator control for the key lock.

Today, however, after changes to the operating system following the train accident in Thumkuhlental in 1994, signals have been installed again.

Above the station on the mountain of Königsberg in the Harz National Park are the rocky crags of the Hirschhornklippen which are not accessible.
