The Voigtland State Railway (, abbreviated as "Voigtl. Sts. E. B.") was originally one of the lines of the Royal Saxon State Railways that was built in Vogtland, now in the German state of Saxony and the Czech Republic. The line began from the junction station of Herlasgrün on the Saxon-Bavarian Railway and ran via Falkenstein, Oelsnitz and Bad Elster to Cheb (then a mainly German speaking city called Eger in the Kingdom of Bohemia, which formed part of the Austrian Empire). Only the Herlasgrün–Falkenstein and Oelsnitz–Cheb sections are still operating.
With the construction of the Plauen–Oelsnitz connection, which opened in 1874, Herlasgrün station was significantly expanded as the Oelsnitz–Cheb section was operated in conjunction with the new line.

In the following decades the station was extended several times, until a larger station upgrade took place in the 1890s.
