The rapid transit station was opened in 1921 and is located in the Hamburg suburb of Großhansdorf, Germany.

At the time the station was opened, Großhansdorf was an exclave of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

With the Greater Hamburg Act of 1937, Großhansdorf was ceded to Schleswig-Holstein and it was temporarily considered to close the station.

The station's building and only entrance is located at a street junction in the town's center.

The single island platform and the two side tracks run along one of these two streets.
