It consists of a passenger station, a railway repair shop, where Intercity-Express trains are also serviced, and a former freight yard.

ICE and electric multiple units used for regional transport are overhauled (all components of the vehicles are inspected, renewed or repaired) there.

This includes servicing major items such as air conditioners, bogies and wheelsets, but also smaller parts such as shock absorbers.

In 1924 it became an Ausbesserungswerk (repair shop) and in 1955 it became the central point for dealing with the shock absorbers of passenger coaches.

[9] The Krefeld-Oppum freight yard was located about 700 metres west of the passenger station in the area of the street, "Am Verschubbahnhof".

In addition, the station received information display boards and its appearance and its forecourt were upgraded in an urban style.
