The trains on this 23 km long route stopped at Neusörnewitz, Coswig, Kötzschenbroda, Weintraube and Radebeul, taking 45 minutes.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Meißen station was rebuilt several times and extended so that it was barely able to cope with the sharp increase in traffic.

The platform facilities and the entrance buildings were therefore rebuilt after the First World War to plans by the architect and professor of architecture Wilhelm Kreis and the municipal planner Mirus.

[5] Electric operations in Meißen began on 18 December 1970 and Meissen was included in the network of newly created Dresden S-Bahn in September 1973.

In preparation, the second track between Coswig and Meißen, which thad been dismantled for war reparations to the Soviet Union, was restored.

For cost reasons, Deutsche Bahn concentrated on the rehabilitation of the original tile base of Meissen porcelain and the installation of a new lighting.

[7] A renovation of platforms was done in 2012-2014 as part of the upgrade of the S-Bahn line to Meißen, which is due to be completed in 2016.

Meißen station is served by S-Bahn line S1 services on the Meißen-Triebischtal–Dresden–Bad Schandau (–Schöna) route at 30-minute intervals.
