Offenbach-Bieber is located on the Rodgau Railway (German: Rodgaubahn) in the Bieber district of the city of Offenbach am Main in the German state of Hesse. The Offenbach-Bieber–Dietzenbach railway also starts here. Today the station is served only by lines S1 and S 2 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.

Bieber station was opened as a station of the Rodgau Railway (Offenbach–Reinheim line) on 30 October 1896. The Rodgau Railway has been operated since 2003 as part of S-Bahn line S1 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn, but only as far as Rödermark-Ober-Roden. Services between Rödermark-Ober-Roden and Dieburg are operated as an extension of services on the Dreieich Railway (Dreieichbahn), which was opened in 1905. The track between Dieburg and Reinheim has been dismantled.

On 1 December 1898, the Offenbach-Bieber-Dietzenbach railway was opened as a branch line of the Rodgau Railway. On 18 June 1982, passenger services on the line were discontinued. In the 2003/2004 timetable, starting on 14 December 2003, passenger services were re-established with the commencement of S-Bahn services of line S 2 on the route between Niedernhausen and Dietzenbach.

In the course of the upgrade for the S-Bahn, changes were made to the tracks at the station as the lines were duplicated and electrified. The station was rebuilt to provide barrier-free access for the disabled. The level crossing on Dietesheimer Straße was removed and replaced by an underpass.

The station building, built in 1896, is a listed monument under the Hessian Heritage Act. The two-story brick building was sold into private ownership on 30 December 2009 and subsequently there was a dispute over the status of its heritage listing. The building has deteriorated.
