Grünberg (Oberhess) is a station in the town of Grünberg in the German state of Hesse. The stations of Lehnheim and Göbelnrod are also in Grünberg. It is located 23.2 kilometres from Gießen station on the Vogelsberg Railway (Vogelsbergbahn), which continues to Fulda. In the past, the Lumda Valley Railway (Lumdatalbahn) to Londorf and Lollar branched off here and the Butzbach–Lich railway to Butzbach via Lich and Münzenberg.
Grünberg station was opened with the first section of the Vogelsberg Railway from Giessen to Grünberg on 29 December 1869. Half a year later, the Vogelsberg Railway was extended to Alsfeld.
In 1896 the Lumda Valley Railway was opened via Londorf to Lollar. Thus, Grünberg became a regional railway hub with heavy traffic. The Lumda Valley Railway was operated exclusively for regional passenger and freight traffic. From the start of the operation, most of the trains ran through Lollar to Gießen. The Londorf–Grünberg section was closed down on 26 May 1963 and dismantled in 1965. This section has been used as an extension of the Lumda–Wieseck cycling trail since 2010.
On 1 August 1909, the Butzbach–Lich railway (also known as the Wettertalbahn—Wetter Valley Railway) was finished with the extension from Lich to Grünberg. This had its own station, called Grünberg Süd, near Grünberg station. The Lich–Grünberg line was closed on 4 October 1953.
