The first line section to Bad Ems was opened from Oberlahnstein on July 1, 1858. It was possible to drive through to Wetzlar and Gießen in 1863.

In 1912 the station building was expanded.

The high-rise buildings of the station are: the reception building, an annex that previously served as the royal station , and the platform hall. It owes its creation to the great importance of Bad Ems as a spa before the First World War . The ensemble is a cultural monument according to the Rhineland-Palatinate Monument Protection Act .

A subsequently built underpass connects the station building with the central platform and Braubacher Straße (L 327) on the other side of the station.
