From the opening of the station many small businesses and restaurants were established in the immediate area.

After the transfer of control of the Saar to the League of Nations in the wake of the Treaty of Versailles, Türkismühle station became a border station to Germany with customs facilities, resulting in an increase in population.

The line to Wolfersweiler was opened in November 1934 and extended to Kusel in 1936, establishing the Türkismühle–Kusel railway.

The Hochwald Railway is operated from Türkismühle by heritage trains and freight traffic.

Only a short section of the Westrich Railway is still operated from Türkismühle; it is used for freight traffic.
