The station is situated under the Konstablerwache at the eastern end of the Zeil, Frankfurt's main shopping street.

In 1986, the inauguration of operations through the Zeil tunnels was completed when the U6 and U7 services commenced on the C Line of the U-Bahn.

[7] In 1999, the first new tram line since U-Bahn construction began was opened along Kurt Schumacher and Konrad Adenauer streets.

In addition to giving access to the platforms, it serves as a shopping mall and a pedestrian underpass.

In 2010 the French artist group CitéCréation [de] and its subsidiary CreativeStadt from Potsdam created a Trompe-l'œil in the metro station, titled "Reise in Raum und Zeit" (journey through space and time).
