Originally, the station was not in the plans for the expansion. But the post-war development as well as the Friedrich Ebert settlement built between 1929 and 1931 justified a station. It opened on 3 May 1956, along with the rest of the route between Seestraße and Kurt-Schumacher-Platz. There is a bus depot of the BVG near the station and it is often used by staff for access to the depot.
