The station was located on the Leipzig Hbf–Leipzig-Connewitz railway until its closure in November 2012.

As part of City Tunnel network enhancements it was rebuilt thereafter a few meters east at the Leipzig-Engelsdorf–Leipzig-Stötteritz section of the Leipzig Freight Ring and reopened along with Leipzig City Tunnel on 15 December 2013.

The station is served by the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland since then, train services are operated by Deutsche Bahn.

The bridges crossing Zweinaundorfer Straße are being rebuilt in shifted positions and the tracks will get a slightly different layout, in order to increase the speed limit from 60 to 80 km/h.
