The station was at this time a little more than a kilometre from the settlement of Giesing and was surrounded by meadows and fields.

The integrated bus terminal in front of the station was redesigned and in the course of the reconstruction was moved temporarily into the street next to the railway line.

A special feature of the station is that the line between Munich East station (Ostbahnhof) and the junction at the Perlacher Forst cemetery has traffic running on the left, unlike almost all other Deutsche Bahn lines that run on the right.

This is because S-Bahn at Munich East station must reverse, and running on the left avoids a time-consuming crossing of the tracks there.

The mezzanine extends over the entire length of the U-Bahn station, which is rather unusual in Munich.
