It is part of the extension of the U1 from Reumannplatz to the Therme Wien at Oberlaa station.

The station was erected above ground, where the tram line 67 had been running before 2014, the section of which was built here in Oberlaa for the Vienna 1974 International Garden Exhibition.

Through two new passages under the Donauländebahn, the Pickgasse and the Weidelstraße have access to the subway station.

Between this station and the terminal Oberlaa, new storage and inspection depots were built.

West of the station, between the railway tracks and the Favoritenstraße, a park-and-ride facility for commuters was built.
