Düren station was opened in 1841 at line-km 39.2 and soon developed into a hub for rail transport.
By 1900, the Düren–Heimbach, Jülich–Düren, Düren–Neuss and Düren–Euskirchen lines had been established with Düren as the starting point.
From 1933 to 1986 there was a motive power depot (Bahnbetriebswerk) in Düren.
The entrance building was opened in 1874 and, unlike the city centre of Düren, was not destroyed in the air raid of 16 November 1944.
It is located as an island station (Inselbahnhof) between the tracks for traffic to Jülich to the north and the tracks of the Cologne–Aachen line to the south.
Regional express trains towards Aachen stop at the home platform (platform 1).
The platforms for regional express trains and S-Bahn trains running towards Cologne and trains of the Euregiobahn towards Aachen can be reached via an underpass.
Some long-distance trains also stop in Düren.
Although there are other stations in the area of the city of Düren, Düren station does not bear the designation of Hauptbahnhof (main station), unlike most main stations in German towns with several stations.
