At the time of their planning and construction, the railway line and station were outside the district limits, and it was anticipated that they would serve primarily freight traffic to and from the spinning factory.

For that reason, work began in 1875 on the construction of a simple timber station building.

[4] This building, a freight shed with integrated station office, was ready for occupation in time for the opening of the Winterthur–Bülach–Koblenz railway.

That is why the present station building, which, at the time, was promoted in Wülflingen in exaggerated fashion with a direct "Wülflingen–Paris" rail link,[5] was built in 1908.

Opposite the station is the Niderfeld industrial zone, which is connected to the railway tracks.
