Entrance building

The entrance building was opened in about 1900 on the Beienheim–Schotten and the Friedberg–Mücke railways, which were opened in 1897. There is a service room in the building, but there is no waiting room. Beienheim, along with Nidda, has a mechanical signal box.

Tracks and platforms

Beienheim station has three platform tracks. From the main platform on track 1, the trains run on the remaining Friedberg–Wölfersheim-Södel section of the Friedberg–Mücke railway, which once ran through the Vogelsberg to Mücke. The trains of the Beienheim–Schotten railway run to Nidda and Friedberg from tracks 2 and 3, which have low platforms.
