The station was opened on 11 August 1856 with the opening of the Wiesbaden–Rudesheim section[4] of the Nassau Rhine Railway, operated by the Nassau State Railway. The station building was initially only an open hall.
The Eltville–Schlangenbad steam tramway was opened as the Eltviller Kleinbahn (Eltville light railway) on 1 July 1895. This ran from the station forecourt through the vineyards and the winery village of Neudorf (now called Martinsthal), past the high grounds of Rauenthal in the Taunus up to the spa town of Schlangenbad, which had been known for two centuries. On 1 December 1922, the light railway was closed due to declining passenger numbers. It had been taken over by the Allgemeinen Deutschen Kleinbahn-AG (General German Light Railway Company) and its operating company, the Allgemeinen Deutschen Eisenbahn-Betriebs-GmbH (General German Railways Operating Company, ADEG) in 1915.
