Until the summer timetable change on 30 May 1976, the so-called Stadt- und Vorortbahnverkehr ("urban and suburban railway service", an S-Bahn-like system) operated between Hohenstein-Ernstthal and Flöha.

The two signal boxes were demolished in September 2006 and extensive reconstruction has taken place since 2007.

The then redesigned station forecourt was opened on 9 July 2009; a Turmwagen ("tower car", a vehicle designed for the maintenance of the tramway’s overhead wire) was erected on the forecourt as a monument to the former tramway.

At its opening on 15 November 1858, the entrance building consisted only of the structure that later became its middle section.

The island platform is fully accessible, with lifts as well as with markings and tactile paving for the blind and visually impaired.

There are also a Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn partner agency (ticket office), a waiting room, a toilet, a store for travel necessities, parking lots and bicycle parking spaces in the station forecourt.
