The rapid transit station was opened in 1918 and is located in the Hamburg suburb of Wohldorf-Ohlstedt, Germany.

At the time the station was opened, Ohlstedt was an enclave of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

In February 1925 the station was electrified and integrated into the Hochbahn (U-Bahn) system, and named "Ohlstedt" in May 1925.

The station's building and only entrance is located at Alte Dorfstraße, in the district's center.

The single island platform and the two side tracks sit along a rail dam.
