Trains ran on this line between Dietzenbach (Hess) station and Offenbach Hauptbahnhof.

Passenger services on the line were discontinued on 18 June 1982, because traffic on it had been significantly affected by increasing car ownership.

The line was then used only for a small amount of freight traffic and the rail passenger services were replaced by buses.

The station was rebuilt from 2001 to 2003 with two side platforms for S-Bahn operations that are barrier-free for the disabled.

The two-storey brick building has been privately owned since 2006 and is now used by the Alter Bahnhof restaurant.
