Berg am Laim was only opened as a halt (German: Haltepunkt) on 1 in May 1897, but only on the line to Rosenheim, which then ran parallel but south of the line to Mühldorf at this point.

A year later, on 1 May 1916, another Berg am Laim halt opened, this time only on the line to Mühldorf.

The platforms were made accessible for the disabled in 2008 with the provision of a separate underpass for the S-Bahn; previously travellers had to use the adjacent road tunnel to reach the platform.

In addition, S-Bahn line S 2 services run at 10-minute intervals during the peak hour.
