History
Ober-Roden was connected to the railway network in 1896 with the opening of the Rodgau Railway (Rodgaubahn), which connected Offenbach (Main) Hauptbahnhof via Ober-Roden to Dieburg on the Rhine-Main Railway. The first part of the present entrance building was built during its construction. The Dreieich Railway (Dreieichbahn) was opened in 1905, running from Buchschlag on the Main-Neckar Railway via Urberach.
The modernisation of the Dreieich Railway began in 1997. Platform and tracks were rebuilt and preparations were made for the construction of a platform subway.
The station was completely rebuilt for the upgrade of the Rodgau Railway in preparation for the extension of the S-Bahn in 2003. The platform access previously provided by a pedestrian bridge was replaced by a barrier-free subway. Since then there has been direct access on the main platform between the S-Bahn and the buses. The platforms for tracks 2-4 are connected by stairs and lifts to the subway.
The conversion of the station forecourt to a substantial urban gateway began in the third quarter of 2013. The station building was renovated during this work. Various residential and shopping areas were incorporated in the building. A glass structure was planned on the site of the former northern building, which would house a catering business.[4]
