[1] Established in 1887, the entrance building is now heritage-listed and houses among other things a DB agency with ticket sales.

State road 172 crosses the station tracks using a bridge that spans the entire valley including the Gutach river and Gutachstraße.

[2] Construction of the first part of the Höllentalbahn from Freiburg to Neustadt began in 1882 and the line was opened by the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways (Großherzoglich Badische Staatseisenbahnen) on 21 May 1887.

A goods shed and a loading dock were available for freight traffic and a siding was built to the Fürstlich-Fürstenberg paper mill a few years after the opening of the line.

Due to a shortage of funds, the extension of the Höllentalbahn from Neustadt to Donaueschingen was delayed, so the line was not opened until 20 August 1901.

In 1910, Neustadt received a fireless locomotive to handle operations on the siding to the paper mill.

The system used had a voltage of 20,000 V at a frequency of 50 Hertz as Deutsche Reichsbahn wanted to investigate the suitability of mains power for railway operations.

These experiments led to the development of the 25 kV AC electrification system, which is used in much of the world, but not in Germany.

The electrical test operation began on 18 June 1936, with the construction costs amounting to 7 million Reichsmarks.

Today the building is heritage-listed and it houses a ticket centre of Südbadenbus, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn.

Until its discontinuation in 2003, the Kleber-Express ran over the entire route of the Höllentalbahn but it did not use the electrification of the western section.

When the western Höllentalbahn was electrified in 1936, the connections from Donaueschingen to Freiburg were partly broken, although most of the trains had locomotive changes in Neustadt.

In the 1980s, there were continuous express trains from Freiburg to Donaueschingen and some additional regional services, beginning in Neustadt.

There are bus connections to Hüfingen, Löffingen, Lenzkirch, Bonndorf, Seebrugg, Feldberg and Hammereisenbach.
