The station was opened in 1848 on the Main-Neckar Railway, which connects Frankfurt and Heidelberg. Initially, only a few stations were planned. But between 1848 and 1888 other stations were opened, including in Bickenbach and Erzhausen. The station building was designed by the Darmstadt city architect Georg Moller.

In December 1894, construction began on a branch line from Bickenbach to the neighbouring community of Seeheim-Jugenheim. The Bickenbach–Seeheim line was opened on 6 July 1895.

During the Second World War, the station was repeatedly the target of air raids.

On 31 December 1955, passenger traffic on the Bickenbach–Seeheim line was discontinued. Freight traffic was abandoned in July 1960. The line was dismantled in March 1961.
