The construction of a bridge for Bahnhofstraße began in 1913 and the level crossing at Jahnstraße was closed after its completion. A signal box was also opened in 1913 with the duplication of the line. An unloading track was built in 1937 for building material for the construction of the A3 and was dismantled after the completion of the highway. A goods shed, which was connected to the station was removed in 1988. A new signal box was commissioned on 26 September 1989. The old signal box of 1913 was demolished on 12 October 1989.
