Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel
The station was opened on 15 December 1868 along with the Neuhof–Steinau (Straße) section of the Kinzig Valley Railway. The Kinzig Valley Railway was built as part of the Frankfurt–Bebra railway, which was established by the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel, the Grand Duchy of Hesse and Free City of Frankfurt, but was confiscated by the Prussian government following the War of 1866.
