The station was built between 1897 and 1901 in the course of the extension of the railway line Triptis-Blankenstein by the Höllental more than one kilometer northeast of the city in the community part Blechschmidtenhammer. As the route was built by the Prussian State Railways on the basis of a treaty between Bavaria, Prussia and the house of Reuss, the station building with goods shed was built in the style of Thuringian stations.
The station is located just a few hundred meters from the border with Thuringia. After the German division, the line was interrupted on 3 July 1945 between Blankenstein and Lichtenberg, Lichtenberg became the terminus from Marxgrün. On the Bavarian side, there was no more passenger traffic. Freight traffic from Marx green to Lichtenberg was carried out until May 23, 1971, then the line was shut down and the tracks dismantled in 1982.

The Natuparkinformationszentrum in the former station Blechschmidtenhammer houses an interactive exhibition on the Franconian Forest. There are also public toilets.
