The now heritage-listed [3] station consists of the entrance building, the platforms with canopies and pedestrian subway, a waiting room originally with sections for four passenger classes on the platform, workshop, a goods shed with a building at its end, sets of points, a transporter wagon facility, a loading ramp, two small residences, a boiler house, an engine shed, a water crane, a coal loading facility and a loading road with cobblestone paving.
The eastern part of the building also has a roof in the form of a truncated pyramid with gables and it has a ridge turret with a clock on the street side.
The renovation of the library won the special award for commercial buildings in the 2002 Radebeul construction prizes.
[6] The historic goods shed with its two-storey building at the end of the loading tracks has been rebuilt as the Schmalspurbahnmuseum Radebeul (narrow-gauge railway museum of Radebeul) and the paved road in front of it was renamed in 2005 as Am Alten Güterboden (at the old goods shed).
The renovation, including the remodeling of its precincts, won the 2006 Radebeul construction prize in the category of “commercial and public buildings/special solutions”.
The freight tracks were established on 15 October 1876 and Radebeul was reclassified from a halt (Haltepunkt) to a station (Bahnhof) on 1 May 1881.
[10] Since then, both the standard gauge and the narrow-gauge railway lines have run to the south of the station building.
The level crossing of the street now called Hauptstraße (main street) was replaced by a road bridge and the new railway station was lit at night by electricity with power from the Niederlößnitz power station.
The only remaining rail freight is in connection with the Arzneimittelwerk Dresden pharmaceutical plant.
The station has been rebuilt so that the northern pair of standard-gauge tracks handle S-Bahn services at an island platform and the southern pair of tracks, which have no platforms, handle long-distance passenger and freight transport.
[9] The operation of regional services was to be dropped with the commissioning of the S-Bahn tracks, but this has not yet been implemented.
