The former Mountain Railway (German: Gebirgsbahn) ran from the station to Hohemark; it is now part of U-Bahn line U3.

At the personal request of the Emperor, the capacity of the entire route from Frankfurt to Friedberg and Friedrichsdorf was increased, including the duplication of the line from 1907 to 1910.

In 1899 the standard gauge Mountain Railway was opened to Hohemark, with steam-hauled freight and passenger trains.

Since the Taunusbahn became part of the FVV in 1993, trains have run on it to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, stopping in Oberursel, but not at Stierstadt or Weißkirchen.

The tracks in the spacious freight yard are now abandoned and largely overgrown, with 200 species of wild flower identified.
