On 3 November 1858, the Royal Bavarian Eastern Railway Company opened the line between Munich and Landshut.

On 28 September 1892, the line, which previously ran along the route of Landshuter Allee, was relocated to run to the east of the Nymphenburg Park through Moosach and south to München-Laim.

[6] In 1944, the station was served by 31 local trains from Munich to Freising, Landshut and Regensburg each day.

[7] By 1972, the station facilities were rebuilt for operations of the S-Bahn, including, inter alia, the raising of platforms to a height of 76 centimetres.

Since 1970, the operation of the trackwork has been controlled by a Siemens class 60 (SP Dr S60) track plan push button interlocking.

The walls at the back of the track are made of white panels on which large-scale images of different plants and animals are attached.
