The Main-Lahn Railway was opened to Niederselters in 1875 and the whole line was completed to Limburg in 1877. A second track was opened in 1913. The line was electrified in 1986. The station was adjacent to a mineral spring (from which the expression "seltzer water" is derived), which became an important freight customer.
The Haltepunkt (halt) is located in the south of the district of Niederselters in the municipality Selters. The halt lies between the streets Brunnenstraße (K513) in the north and Am Urseltersbrunnen in the south. The Selters water museum lies south of the station.
