[2] The station was built in a box under a cover in order to minimise the disturbance of surface traffic.

With its two island platforms, the station, which was designed by Rainer G. Rümmler, has almost monumental dimensions.

The southern end of its platforms are spanned by a gallery for the movement of passengers to the surface and from which the entire station can be seen.

The U-Bahn station also includes a signal control centre for the line to Paulsternstraße.

Uniquely for the Berlin U-Bahn, this line would run to the left of the platforms to improve interchanges for the planned extensions of the U7 to Staaken and the U2 to Falkenhagener Feld.
