It is located on the border of Berlin just outside the municipality of Ahrensfelde, which is in the state of Brandenburg.

In 1979, the boundary was moved with the new formation of the city of Marzahn, which in 2001 was absorbed into the district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf.

The reception building from the station's opening in 1898 is located on a side branch of Ahrensfelder Chaussee west of the tracks.

The station was opened simultaneously with the Wriezen Railway on 1 May 1898, but over the years was never in the municipality of Ahrensfelde.

In the time of the Third Reich, it was proposed that the S-Bahn station be extended on the line to Werneuchen.

The only part of the plan to be implemented was the inclusion of the station in the suburban fare zone in 1938.

During World War II, the route was spared for a long time from the fighting.

When German troops retreated from Wriezen, the superstructure was destroyed on several sections, including between the motorway bridge at Blumberg and Ahrensfelde, by rail wolf.

The location of the building was considered a possible extension of the S-Bahn to the breakpoint Ahrensfelde North.

With the summer timetable in 1992, the Deutsche Reichsbahn introduced the hourly rate between Ahrensfelde and Werneuchen.

With the summer timetable of May 1997, Deutsche Bahn suspended the direct connections to Wriezen.

In addition to Regionalbahn service RB 25 of the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn, the station is served by line S7 of the Berlin S-Bahn and several bus lines operated by Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe and other regional bus companies.
