After a fire in 2002, when large parts of the building were burned completely, the reception building was no longer usable. At the end of 2004 the city of Kreuztal acquired the station for the symbolic price of one Euro. After extensive construction work costing a total of €2.1 million, of which about a quarter was contributed by North Rhine-Westphalia, the station re-opened in February 2008 as the Kulturbahnhof (“culture station”) Kreuztal. Today the station has three platform tracks, each of which are accessible by lifts. The public toilets are accessible from the platforms. The lobby with its art exhibition space and the kiosk on the ground floor are also accessible by wheelchair. The lobby is equipped with an induction audio system. Deaf people can participate in cultural events through this system. The announcements of Deutsche Bahn on the platform and in the lobby are connected with the audio system. The station is fully accessible for the disabled. Kreuztal station is served by buses to many destinations, including Freudenberg, Hilchenbach, Junkernhees, Littfeld and Siegen.

In a small gallery in the foyer with a total area of 40 square metres of exhibition space, three to four exhibitions from all areas of fine art are held each year under the motto "scene change" ("szenenwechsel").
