There was also a freight wagon repair shop, which is now closed and is now the site of the DB Museum, Koblenz.

A decree of the Prince Regent William in April 1858 finally led to the separation of the passenger station and the freight yard.

Construction began shortly after the announcement of the royal decree in May 1858 and the freight yard was opened in November of that year.

The rise of the economically important district of Lützel was the direct result of the construction of the station.

In the Third Reich the first large-scale deportations from the metropolitan area of Koblenz were carried out through the freight yard.

In 1942, 870 Jews were deported from Lützel to Cologne and from there dispatched to labour and concentration camps.

Access to the platforms is from the east side of Am Güterbahnhof, a dead-end and run-down street.

These are, however, on Schüllerplatz or Mayener Straße on the western side of the station, which makes changing transport mode more difficult.

It now consists of four loading tracks and a variety of sidings, now partly used by the DB Museum in Koblenz.
