History
Until the cessation of passenger service on the Schelde Valley Railway between Dillenburg and Wallau (Lahn) and the Dietzhölz Valley Railway between Dillenburg and Ewersbach, the station had another platform with tracks 9 and 10, from which trains departed for these two branch lines. Access to this platform is no longer possible. In the past there had been some long-distances trains via Dillenburg. There was the Interregio Line between Frankfurt and Muenster once a day the train went from Muenster to Norddeich Mole./
