The station is located in the Koblenz suburb of Lützel, near the Moselle river and the Moselle railway bridge. It includes a passenger station and a freight yard. There was also a freight wagon repair shop, which is now closed and is now the site of the DB Museum, Koblenz.

The now dismantled Koblenz-Lützel–Mayen Ost railway branched off the West Rhine Railway (the left bank line, German: Linke Rheinstrecke) in Koblenz-Lützel from 1904 to 2003. The Neuwied–Koblenz railway was built to connect the East Rhine Railway (the right bank line, Rechte Rheinstrecke) to the left bank line and the Moselle line, which is important for freight traffic, at Koblenz-Lützel station.

Koblenz has had three stations in two kilometres on the left bank line with Koblenz-Lützel station, Koblenz Central Station and Koblenz City Centre Station (Koblenz Stadtmitte), completed of in 2011.
