It was situated in Prenzlauer Berg, close to the borders with Gesundbrunnen, in the area of the "Mauerpark".
The passenger traffic was handled by the nearby Stettiner Bahnhof, located at the western end at Bernauer Straße.
The old Nordbahnhof was renamed to Güterbahnhof (freight yard) Eberswalder Straße.
After the building of the Berlin Wall, in 1961, only a small part of local freight traffic remained.
[2] Nowadays the ground where the station's tracks were located is the seat of the Mauerpark, a commemorative park about the Berlin Wall on the former "death strip" nearby Bernauer Straße.
