The Blocksberg stop on the Niebüll-Dagebüll railway line used to be a central transshipment point. Farmers from the surrounding villages and towns met at the cattle scales and in the inn.

Among other things, there was a dairy at the Blocksberg train station. The railway delivered the milk from the surrounding farms and coal for the steam boiler system. Initially, the station only had one loading platform. With the construction of the dairy in 1905, the track was moved to the southern side. It thus served as a connection for the company. The dairy owner had to contribute financially to the construction and maintenance of the track. The dairy ceased in 1929.

The railway line was opened in 1895 as a narrow-gauge line. An important reason for the construction was the competition between the seaside resorts of Westerland on Sylt and Wyk on Föhr. The ships from Dagebüll to Föhr and Amrum could now be reached comfortably and quickly by train. This shortened the travel time from Niebüll to Wyk by one hour. A special feature of the connection is the route, which is based on the location of the dikes. That's why there are several very tight corners here. One of them is the "Blocksberger curve" east of the train station.

In 1926 the railway line was widened to standard gauge. In this context, the passing track was laid, which was extended in 1981. In 1992, the Blocksberg station was closed for passenger traffic.
