Construction

A new tunnel was constructed under A5 motorway and Bundesstraße 43, with a new bridge over the Main Railway so that the existing Frankfurt Airport loop services could be diverted via the new station. The station has two tracks with an island platform inside a station box constructed using cut and cover.

Opening

An opening ceremony was held on 9 December 2019, with public services beginning in the early hours of 15 December 2019—originally planned for 00:17, but delayed until shortly after 01:30.
