The station was built in the early 1970s and opened on 26 May 1972 to provide additional means of transportation for the 1972 Summer Olympics.

While regular services ceased visiting the station after the games ended, it was used sporadically when football matches took place in the nearby Olympic Stadium.

Between 8 August 1984 and 8 July 1988, S8 and S11 services stopped at the station when events were taking place at the stadium.

The station was officially closed on 8 July 1988 after the final of the 1988 UEFA European Football Championship, and has fallen into disrepair.

The tracks were disconnected in 2003 to permit easier excavation of the tunnel for the U3 extension of the Munich U-Bahn.
