On 6 December 1906, the Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vorortbahn (City and suburban railway) — later abbreviated Hamburg S-Bahn — opened the double track Ohlsdorf–Blankenese line.

[8] Overhead lines were completed by 1 October 1907,[5] however, electric operation only started on 29 January 1908.

Prior to 2008, Ohlsdorf had a bus shuttle service to bring passengers from the station to the airport.

Signs and announcements in German and English language inform passengers.
