Reception building

However, it has been greatly altered in appearance: both the original two -storey main building as well as in the East Attached, formerly one-story restaurant tract were later increased by one floor. The original structure is presumably based on a design by Julius Eugen Ruhl. The station building is a cultural monument under the Hessian Monument Protection Act.
