History

The first station at this point was 1862, when the Cologne -Minden Railway Company built the Deutz- Gießen railway from today's Cologne -Deutz to Giessen. Larger importance was the station but only after 1915, the direct connection between Siegen and Dillenburg was connected here to the dill route.

Reception building

In the years 1911-1913 a new reception building as a wedge between the old railway station route (today: Railway Betz Village Haiger ) and built the new track after victories. The architect was probably Ludwig Hoffmann. The wedge railway station is at an angle between the two elevated railway embankments, so that the platform subways are at ground level from street level reachable. The facade and largely also the buildings themselves are designed symmetrically around a central axis. The facade is dominated by a central projection of yellow sandstone. The ensemble is designed in a mix of classical elements and Art Nouveau. The station is located at an altitude of 270 m above sea level. The present condition of the reception building appear neglected, track side gives the station area as the impression of an industrial wasteland, a newly opened pub in 2012 has now closed after violations of fire regulations.
