The Left Rhine line from Cologne to Bonn was extended to Rolandseck in 1856 and through Remagen to Koblenz in 1858.

There are food vending machines on platform tracks 2 and 3 and in the reception building.

In the course of renovation work in 2008, the platform roofs were renewed and new LCD destination displays were erected.

Platform track 5 is used only for the Ahr Valley Railway, operated as the Rhein-Ahr-Bahn towards Ahrbrück.

A special feature is the station’s cast-iron portico, which is not anchored to the building, but rather stands on its own.
