Limburg (Lahn) station is a station of the city of Limburg an der Lahn in the German state of Hesse. It is on the Lahn Valley Railway (German: Lahntalbahn), running between Koblenz and Gießen. The only section of this that is electrified in the Limburg area is between Limburg freight yard and Eschhofen station. At the west end of station a two-track branch line branches off towards Staffel, where it separates into two single-track lines to Siershahn (the Lower Westerwald Railway, Westerwaldbahn) and to Au (Sieg) (the Upper Westerwald Railway, Oberwesterwaldbahn). East of Limburg, in Eschhofen, the double track, electrified Main-Lahn Railway (Main-Lahn-Bahn) branches off to the southeast towards Frankfurt and Wiesbaden (via the Ländches Railway (Ländchesbahn).
Until 2005, there was also a Deutsche Bahn maintenance depot at the station, which is now closed and leased in part to the private rail operator, vectus Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH. Most of the former site was converted into a shopping centre. Vectus Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH also has its headquarters there.
