Nordstraße station in 2006
The station was opened on October 3, 1981 and consists of one island platform with two rail tracks.
In 2003, a 50-year-old man drove his car into the entrance of the station on street level (without going all the way in) when he thought it was entrance to a car park.[1] Likewise, in 2007, a 52-year-old woman drove her car into the entrance staircase, also thinking it would lead to a car park.[1]
