Reception building
The station building of 1877/1913 was originally built in the neoclassical style. Structural feature is its extreme slope: The street is two storey heights above the platform level. Services for passengers are no longer offered in the reception building today. The plant makes a neglected impression, as the German train for years before any maintenance or omits reference to the planned route expansion.
The original state of the reception building was structurally changed greatly since the beginning of the 20th century, so it is not classified as a cultural monument under the Hessian Monument Protection Act, as many older station building further north on the Main- Weser Railway. On the part of opponents of a four-track expansion of the Main- Weser -Bahn between Frankfurt West and (initially) Bad Vilbel has now been encouraged to make the reception building nevertheless a historical monument, to make it with the so established status as a cultural monument impossible to find two more tracks to embarrassed.
