The halt of Eilendorf was opened at line-km 64.9 as Nirm halt along with the line on 1 September 1841.
It later closed but reopened in 1897.
In 1920, an entrance building was built, which was demolished in the 1980s.
By 1963, Nirm had an island platform and a passing track.
During the electrification of the line, the halt was renamed Eilendorf, the passing track was dismantled and two side platforms, which still exist, were built.
In 2018, the platforms had a height of 38 cm and were therefore below the boarding height of the rail vehicles operated, which prevented barrier-free entry.
In 2018, the platforms were raised to 76 cm to enable level, barrier-free entry into the trains.
The platforms, which were previously over 200 metres long, were shortened to 125 m. There is no connection between the two platforms with a bridge or a tunnel; instead a road bridge to the west or an underpass to the east must be used, both of which require several hundred metres of walking.
Therefore, passengers often cross the tracks without authorisation.
