The station was opened on 1 December 1883. The station was then served by four steam trains a day, the number increased to 16 by 1904. During World War II, on 3 March 1943,[4] bombs heavily damaged the station building, which was rebuilt after the war, but demolished in the 1980s for a new car park and bus stop.

Electrification of the railway line was planned since 1948. It was completed in May 1950 to Sülldorf. On 20 May 1954 the electrified track to Wedel was opened.[4]
