The station is located in the northern Lüttringhausen, which until 1929 was a separate town in the former Lennep district, but is now a borough of the Bergisches Land city of Remscheid in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The still existing, but no longer publicly accessible, station building is set back a little to the east and a few metres above the Barmer Straße and is connected by steps.

On the ground floor there was, among other things, the entrance, the waiting room, a restaurant and a bay window housing the train dispatcher's switchboard and an office.

[6] The station is served by line S 7 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn, branded as Der Müngstener, operated every 20 minutes from Monday to Friday and generally every half hour on weekends and at off-peak times, using (LINT 41) vehicles.

[7][8] Until 15 December 1913 the station was served by Regional-Express service RB 47, operated by DB Regio NRW, normally with two-carriage sets of class 628.4.

The Abellio Deutschland company won a contract that was put to tender in November 2010 and took over the operation of passenger services on the route from December 2013 for a period of 15 years.
