On 1 November 1865, Adorf received a railway connection with the opening of the line from Herlasgrün via Oelsnitz and Adorf to Eger (now Cheb) by the Voigtland State Railway (Voigtländische Staatseisenbahn).
The newly opened through station most closely resembled Falkenstein station, but as early as 1871, Adorf station had to be extended because of the double-tracking of the Plauen–Eger line to Adorf for the first time.

The through station became a junction station with the opening of the whole Chemnitz–Adorf railway by the Chemnitz-Aue-Adorf Railway Company (Chemnitz-Aue-Adorfer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, CAAE) on 15 November 1875, but the line of the CAAE ended at a separate terminus, which was only connected to the state railways by way of a connection through sets of points.
The tracks of the CAAE ended at a turntable in front of the entrance building.
After the nationalisation of the CAAE in 1876, Adorf station was again expanded.
In 1880, Adorf then received its own Heizhaus (a roundhouse where locomotives were heated).

Due to the position of the turntable at the end of the railway line from Aue, there were occasional accidents; a locomotive even ran through the gable wall of the entrance building on 6 January 1900.

Little was changed by the extension of the Asch–Roßbach railway by the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways to Adorf in 1905.
Previously, a contract had been concluded with the railway company under which the State Railways were given two former freight tracks and were allowed to use the remaining tracks of the Royal Saxon State Railways (Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen) for payment and to build a water crane and a waiting room.
The extension from Roßbach was opened in 1906.

Extensive reconstruction of the station began as part of the double-tracking of the Adorf–Siebenbrunn section, since the Siebenbrunn–Markneukirchen railway was planned to run from there.
For this reason, a railway construction office (Eisenbahn-Neubauamt) was established in Adorf from 1905 to 1912.
Important parts of the reconstruction were: 
Raising of the southern end of the station by three and a half metres to eliminate a level crossing
Demolition of the previous locomotive maintenance facility and construction of a new facility at Kaltenbach (line-kilometre 31.86 of the Plauen–Eger railway)
Extension of the freight yard and the establishment of a marshalling yard
Construction of two island platforms, making a total of six platforms
Construction of a new entrance building
Construction of two new signal boxes, both of which could be operated remotely.

In 1912, the station area was a 1.6 kilometres long and had 45 sets of points, eight double sets of points and a crossing loop.
As early as 1909, a siding branched off from the station; this operated until 1967.

The station survived the Second World War largely undamaged, only suffering from low-flying strafing, which caused little damage.
After the war, the second track of the railway was dismantled for reparations and many rail connections within the station became superfluous and were dismantled.
The traffic to Roßbach, which was interrupted at the end of the Second World War, was not resumed, and the route to Roßbach between 1946 and 1951 was also dismantled.
The second track of the Plauen–Cheb line was not rebuilt until 1979.

In 1990, the station consisted of 54 sets of points, two simple crossovers and a crossing loop.

The entrance building, which had been abandoned during the last two decades, was demolished in November 2012.
