The stop on open tracks was already in use since 1872, but the passenger volume grew so fast that two side platforms were built as early as 1874.

It was not until Berlin's tram system was established in 1920/1921 that both routes connected to form a common line.

The suburban railway was electrified in 1928, and electric service from Adlershof started on 6 November of that year.

The conversion work, in the course of which new bridge superstructures over Rudower Chaussee were built in 1960, resulted in a new layout of the entrances.

With the establishment of the Wissenschafts- und Wirtschaftsstandort Adlershof (WISTA) in 1992, the desire arose for a powerful modern station.

During the rebuilding of the station, the tram stop was temporarily relocated to a triangular turn on Adlergestell east of the embankment.

The extension of the trams on the median strip of Rudower Chaussee to the west to Karl-Ziegler-Straße was opened on 4 September 2011, but the turning loop at the station was retained for operational purposes.
