The first German railway was opened from here to Kupferdreh by the Deil Valley Railway Company on 20 September 1831 as a horse-drawn, narrow-gauge railway, which carried coal until 1844, but it also carried passengers from 1833. The Prince William Railway Company standardised the line and opened a station on this site on 1 December 1847.
