The historic station building has a facade of ashlar masonry with beige painted plaster. It has two storeys and an attic with gabled roof and mutual gables, which are both above the entrance on the street side and on the opposite side over the former access to the main platform. The first floor is now partially covered with artificial slate. On the ground floor there was, among others, the entrance, the waiting room, a restaurant and a bay window with dispatcher switchboard and office. The building is today without rail operational function, is used for private and gives the impression of a maintenance neglect. There is not a listed building.

The station formerly had a roofed house platform at track 1 and a narrow intermediate platform to the second track with the same level and secured only by the dispatcher crossing over the house track.

Following the redesign of the station to a stop in the passenger and the associated Gleisum and dismantling now the still existing main platform has no function while the intermediate platform was removed entirely.

The two today, just south ( and local detail) of the former station building as a replacement of the original platforms newly created and 76 cm high outside or direction platforms are both stairs access from the Herbringhauser road and accessible by the Von - Bolten mountain road (the western platform Central Station -Solingen Hauptbahnhof) via a ramp from the Green Square Street towards the station to reach Oberbarmen -Wuppertal main station in Remscheid - Lennep direction. On this platform, there is a DB plus. Furthermore, both platforms are equipped with Blindenleitsteinen, single-line dynamic passenger information displays and speakers.

Since the redesign of the track field, there are still three functional prepare continuous sidings, freight and shunting tracks and still regularly used in freight transport junction for the operation of the company Dirostahl, a steel, rolling mill and hammer mill in the train station. The delivery by rail can be done today only on the stretch via Oberbarmen and Ronsdorf because the Müngstener bridge has been around for a few years locked for static reasons for freight trains. The former gravel and concrete today with former own Kiesverladeanlage and siding is operated via the road today exclusively by truck.

Most recently in the station area, two mechanical signal boxes, one with the name " Lf fan " in the bay window of the Dispatcher directly at the station building and a tower interlocking " Ln" ( for " Lüttringhausen North " ) at the northern station head towards Ronsdorf. After the modernization of the station, both of which were by the new signal box ( " RF " at the main station in Remscheid ) replaced and superfluous. During the still non-functional bay window at the station exists, the interlocking tower was laid down.

The goods shed and gantry crane in the east, the formerly reserved for the handling of goods, the station premises were demolished.
