Nevertheless, until the arrival of American forces on 28 March 1945, a makeshift train service was maintained.

[3][4] The entrance building, the rollingstock depot and the area surrounding the station were redesigned between 2009 and 2015 for a total of €11m.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the work on the station forecourt took place in October 2010 and the routing of traffic was changed in the first construction phase up the end of 2011.

In 1907 it was replaced during an expansion of the station with an entrance building designed by the architect Alois Holtmeyer.

East of the passenger station is the disused freight yard, which consisted of a small marshalling yard (with a hump and four short sidings), and north of it are disused loading tracks.

Since then, Marburg has been on the Intercity network on the route between Karlsruhe and Hamburg, some extended to Stralsund.

The station is served on the Main-Weser Railway by the Main-Weser-Express service (Regional-Express 30) on the Frankfurt–Kassel route, the Mittelhessen-Express (RB 41) and the RE 98 (Main-Sieg-Express).

The trains on the closed Aar-Salzböde Railway sometimes ran to Marburg, but usually they ended at the junction station of Niederwalgern.
