It is part of the Berlin Ringbahn, a circular line traversing many of the central districts of the city.

The service, however, was disrupted in 1961 by the building of the Berlin Wall and Wedding S-Bahn station went out of use in 1980 after passenger numbers on the route fell to unsustainable levels.

This occurred on 16 June 2002, a date which was nicknamed Wedding-Day, a pun based on the clash of meanings of the word 'wedding' in English and German.

It was given its current name in 1972 as the station no longer existed, and has greatly increased in significance since 2002 when the interchange with the S-Bahn was reinstated.

[2] In addition to its rail links, the station is also served by two bus lines during the day (one of which runs continuously) and two at night.
