The single-storey middle section was originally decorated with gables and a clock.

Two-storey wings were added on its sides, which served as entrance and exit halls.

Despite the changes, the stucco building with its neoclassical forms, which were usual at the time, has heritage protection.

The platform was renewed in 2003 and received a new roof, a lift, new signs and new lighting.

The station has been closed in December 2021, as part of the construction of Hamburg S-Bahn line S 4.
