Since October 1, 1885, Probstzella has been a through station on the Prussian State Railway's line from Leipzig via Gera, which continues in Bavaria via Kronach to Hochstadt-Marktzeuln. This once important inner-German connection is now served only by a regional express train. During the division of Germany, Probstzella served as a border station, with a building erected specifically for this purpose from 1976 onwards, which was demolished in 2008. On November 6, 2010, the "Grenzbahnhof Museum" opened in the station's historic reception building. It presents a detailed history of border controls at inner-German border stations.
