The flat country north of Kamenz, which had few rivers, was favourable for rapid progress and the works proceeded without difficulty.

A connecting line of the Cottbus-Großenhain Railway Company running east-west, the later Lower Silesian mainline, was put into operation on 1 June 1874 between Kohlfurt and nearby Ruhland.

Population growth, more intense mining operations and the establishment of industry in the Hosena area increased the importance of the station.

With the end of the GDR and the onset of economic and political change, the rapid development of the station came to a halt.

On 23 May 1998, the passenger rail services on the Hosena–Kamenz section, which are the responsibly of the Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (Upper Elbe Transport Association), were abandoned.
