A striking feature is the prefabricated two-storey entrance tower, which has a steep hip roof.

The tower has a balcony-like gable dormer and it is perforated with a round arch.

It is served by line S 8 running between Mönchengladbach Hauptbahnhof and Hagen Hauptbahnhof every 20 mins (two out of three starting/ending at Wuppertal-Oberbarmen), by line S 9 running between Gladbeck and Wuppertal Hbf every 30 minutes and to Recklinghausen / Haltern am See and to Hagen every 60 minutes,[8] and by the S28 service operating two times an hour to Wuppertal Hbf and to Kaarster See via Mettmann.

The station is also served by bus route 639, operated every 60 minutes by WSW mobil.
