Niederhöchstadt station

Niederhöchstadt station was opened by the Kronberg Railway Company (German: Cronberger Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, using the old spelling of Kronberg) along with the line to Kronberg on 1 November 1874. The station building dates from the turn of the century in 1900 and is a heritage-listed building. It is a two-storey brick building with a shallow hipped roof with a small tented roof covered with dormers. The platform side of the building has a complex structure with a central projection covered by a gable, wall panels and cornices. A polygonal bay window was later added on the ground floor for supervisory personnel and an annex was built on the north side.[3]

On 22 December 1970, the first section of the Limes railway was opened between Niederhöchstadt and the Schwalbach Limes station on the edge of Eschborn and opened as a shuttle service. Almost 2 years later, on 6 November 1972, the gap to Bad Soden was closed. Up to that time Bad Soden only had a rail connection via the Soden Railway to Frankfurt-Höchst, which is now operated as Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund line RB 13.

Since 28 May 1978, the Rhine-Main S-Bahn have operated as line S 3 over the Limes Railway and line S 4 over the Kronberg Railway, at first running only to Frankfurt Central Station. They now terminate at Langen (S4) and Darmstadt Central Station (S3).

The station is now served only by S-Bahn lines S 3 and S 4, running from Bad Soden (S 3) and Kronberg (S 4) to Frankfurt Central underground station, Frankfurt South, Neu-Isenburg, Langen (terminus of S 4) and Darmstadt (terminus of S 3).
