Since 2011, the Hildesheim contractor Dirk Bettels has tried in vain to acquire and rehabilitate the grade II heritage-listed station building with public funds.

Construction work begun by Dirk Bettels was discontinued at the end of March 2013 because no contract had been signed by Deutsche Bahn.

A railway ran from Nordstemmen station to Rössing and through the town of Lauenstadt to the Calenberg mill in Schulenburg.

In 1896, there was a plan for the building of a 22.3-kilometre-long (13.9 mi) metre-gauge railway from Nordstemmen via Barnten, Schulenburg, Adensen, Hallerburg, Alferde, Eldagsen and Alvesrode to Springe, which would serve both passenger and freight transport.

Since the opening of the Hanover–Würzburg high-speed railway, on a different route, in 1991, through passenger traffic has greatly reduced at Nordstemmen station.

There were four unprotected crossings south of the station area in 1853, enabling access to the Nordstemmer Holz riparian forest to the west and from there over a rope bridge, which no longer exists, to Schulenburg.

With the opening of the line from Nordstemmen to Hildesheim by the Royal Hanoverian State Railways on 15 September 1853, the station became a railway junction, with the station building built on the wedge between the lines (German: Keilbahnhof) on an island between rail tracks without direct access to the street.

The railway at that time carried in addition to passengers and checked baggage, freight, mail, parcels and telegrams.

The former König Georgs V. von Hannover carriage house was built to the north of the entrance building in the wedge between the railway tracks.

At the end of the 20th century, the northern part of the building was initially used for the sale of tickets and then as a waiting room until the depot was closed completely.

These were replaced in 1981 to 1982 by an overpass for district road K 505 to Adensen and a pedestrian tunnel to the southern entrance to the station.

[6] Thus the platforms correspond to the vehicles used on the lines and allow entries and exits to the modern rolling stock that are easy and accessible for the disabled.

The platforms were given a new tactile floor covering for the visually impaired, transparent weather-proof shelters and modern facilities with benches, cabinets and bins.

In parallel with the work carried out by Deutsche Bahn, the Nordstemmen municipality has spent around €4.3 million to pave the former freight train tracks next to Hauptstraße in order to established a park-and-ride facility, a for bicycle parking and for a bus stop.

Nordstemmen station is located north of town centre on the Weser Railway from Bünde and Löhne via Bad Oeynhausen Süd and Rinteln to Hildesheim and Bodenburg.

Subsequently, the previously closed windows were fitted with grills, supporting the ceilings, which were in danger of collapsing, and new coverings were installed over the roof.

Because no buyer had been found for the listed building, Deutsche Bahn submitted an application for its demolition to the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) in Hanover in the summer of 2005.

Deutsche Bahn undertook to build a modern station after the planned demolition, sufficient for current purposes.
