This line was opened in 1892, but closed to passenger service in 1959 and ceased operations completely in 1990. At Schiltach station a Uerdingen railbus rake and the old railway bridge over the Kinzig recalls this branch that, today, has been dismantled at 95%. The line was 8.8 kilometres (5 mi) long.[1]
The line is now used as a bicycle path.
