This railway line crosses Butteweg at this point. The path was once used by market vendors from the surrounding communities to carry butter and vegetables to the market in Gießen.

The tracks were laid on the initiative of the city of Gießen. They are used exclusively for the logistics hub in the Europaviertel.
