The Oberholz stop in the south of Großpösna takes its name from the Oberholz forest area located south of the station. The station opened on April 20, 1893, making it forty years older than the Großpösna stop to the north. On October 1, 1916, Oberholz station was designated a railway station. The current stop has a platform and a wooden waiting room, which is the home of the Friends of the Großpösna Railway Association.
