The station was opened on 15 May 1933 as part of the electrification of the Wannseebahn suburban line. It is 900 metres (980 yd) away from Berlin-Friedenau station and 1.1 kilometres (1,200 yd) away from Steglitz station.[2]
When the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) took over the operation of the station in January 1984, the station building was so dilapidated that they had to dismantle the station down to the steel frame and rebuild it.[3]
