Mücke (Hess) is a Keilbahnhof ("wedge station") and along with Nieder Ohmen station is one of two remaining stations in the municipality of Mücke in the German state of Hesse. It is located between the two Mücke districts of Flensungen and Merlau, 28.9 kilometres from Gießen on the Vogelsberg Railway (Vogelsbergbahn), which continues to Fulda. Previously, the Friedberg–Mücke railway branched off here via Laubach and Hungen to Friedberg.
Mücke station was opened with the second section of the Vogelsberg Railway from Grünberg to Alsfeld, which was completed on 29 July 1870.
The Laubach–Mücke section of the Friedberg–Mücke railway was completed on 1 November 1903.
In the middle of March 1945, a trains carrying a 10.5 centimetre anti-aircraft gun, a two-centimetre quadruple anti-aircraft gun along with crew and ammunition wagons stood on a track of Mücke station and a train carrying people to a concentration camp stood on a different track. 16 Thunderbolt bombers attacked the station and the stopped trains. The station was largely destroyed, the wagons carrying anti-aircraft ammunition exploded and four anti-aircraft troops and four concentration camp prisoners were killed.
Traffic on the Freienseen–Mücke section was abandoned on 31 May 1958. Passenger services between Hungen and Freienseen and freight traffic between Laubach and Freienseen were discontinued on 31 May 1959 and this section was then closed and dismantled in 1960.
Since the timetable change 2011/2012 on 11 December 2011, passenger services have been operated by the Hessische Landesbahn GmbH (HLB) with LINT 41 diesel multiple units.
