Even though construction was completed in 1994,[2] it took over a decade until the subway line U55 went into service in August 2009.

[3] In the intervening period, the partially completed station with its high ceiling and unusual architecture served as a location for cultural events like performances of the opera The Magic Flute and saw use as a film set for the Resident Evil film series,[4] for Æon Flux and for Equilibrium.

[5] From 2009 to early 2020, only the eastern side of the island platform was used, and only as a shuttle service between Hauptbahnhof and Brandenburger Tor.

On 4 December 2020 the U5 extension opened, and from this date both sides were serviced by trains.
