The first station was a wooden building that opened in 1859. The current passenger building was built from 1907 to 1913 to a design by three German architects, Rüdell, Jüsgen and Scheuffel. The infobox calls the facade traditional Moselle Baroque Revival, and the text calls it neo-Baroque, an imitation of 17th-century architecture in the Moselle region of France. The article names no materials for it.

The network was overhauled when electrification began in 1956. A refurbishment from 2006 added new ticketing, widened platforms, lifts and an underpass. A glass passenger concourse, inaugurated on September 21, 2012, and a four-story car park were part of the 2011 works.

The station has six platforms and 13 tracks. The state owns it and CFL operates it. The passenger building has been a national monument since 1989.
