The station was opened on 1 July 1848 with the opening of the Homburg–Kaiserslautern section of the Palatine Ludwig Railway.
Half a year later the line was extended to Frankenstein and in 1849 the whole route from Rheinschanze (now Ludwigshafen) to Bexbach was open to traffic.
In spite of its great importance, it was not until 1875 that it became a railway junction with the opening of the Kaiserslautern–Enkenbach railway.
It gained additional importance with the opening of the Lauter Valley Railway in 1883 and the completion of the Biebermühl Railway to Pirmasens in 1913.
