history
The Grünberg station was opened with the first section of the Vogelsbergbahn from Gießen to Grünberg on December 29, 1869. Six months later, the Vogelsberg Railway was continued to Alsfeld .
In 1896 the Lumdatalbahn was opened via Londorf to Lollar . This made Grünberg a regional railway junction with heavy traffic. The Lumdatal route served exclusively regional and freight traffic. From the start of operations, most of the trains were tied through to Gießen via Lollar. On May 26, 1963, the Londorf – Grünberg section was shut down and dismantled as early as 1965. Since 2010 this section can be used as an extension of the Lumda-Wieseck cycle path .
On August 1, 1909, the Butzbach-Licher Railway (Wettertal Railway ) was completed with the extension from Lich to Grünberg. This had its own train station, the Grünberg Süd train station, near the Grünberg train station. On October 4, 1953, the Lich – Grünberg line was shut down again.

The trains in the direction of Reiskirchen / Großen-Buseck / Gießen stop at platform 2. Track 3 used to get to Londorf and Lollar. The switches to this track were dismantled, however, and after modernization work, the track has been interrupted by a platform access since 2019 and is unusable.
To the southwest of the station building was a track with a platform for the passenger trains of the Butzbach-Licher Eisenbahn , the actual, four-track Grünburg Süd station was west of Londorfer Strasse. There was also a locomotive shed and a transfer track. Today the area is built over, among other things by the fire station .
