This Fröttstädt was the starting point of the first side rail of Thuringia. This railway was built in 1874 as part of the conversion to steam operation for railway Fröttstedt -Walter Hausen- Friedrichroda whose management was in 1876 leased to the Central Administration for Secundairbahnen Herrmann Bachstein. This expansion was the Fröttstädt station to the wedge station with the station building between the tracks of the two routes.
