The station is on the Tösstallinie from Winterthur-Grüze to Bauma and was opened with her on May 4, 1875. The route was extended to Wald a year later . The two-story standardized station building that was built at the time is still standing today. From 1882, the operating railway company also had its own track to Winterthur station . On June 10, 1918, the station along with the line was nationalized and became the property of the SBB . Since then, the SBB has been operating the line that stretches from Winterthur train station to Rüti .

In the course of the electrification of the Tösstallinie, the station building was slightly expanded in 1951 with a small concrete canopy. In the 1960s, an extension was built with space for toilets, service rooms and a kiosk. A comprehensive renovation followed in the early 1990s and the station was given elevated platforms and an underpass. However, a multi-storey train station building that was also planned was not implemented.
