The station is situated in the town of Loxstedt, in the Cuxhaven district of Lower Saxony.

On 10 March 1862, the station building was inaugurated, featuring two flats for the stationmaster and signalmen as well as a freight shed and several outbuildings.

[2] In the early 20th century, the station saw some long-distance trains to destinations as far away as Berlin and Hanover.

[3] In 1966, the railway line was electrified, freight service was stopped in 1975[2] and the old station building as well as the signal box Lsf stood empty until they were torn down shortly before Christmas 1978.

Park and ride facilities were added after the municipality bought the site of the former station building from Deutsche Bahn AG in 1996.
