The 100-meter-long station was built under Rathausstraße directly in front of Rotes Rathaus (Berlin city hall).

Pedestrian access is possible from both ends: Spandauer Straße north of Rathausstraße in the west, and two more on Jüdenstraße in the east.

In the west the station joins the excavation pit used for the tunnel boring machine which will contains track switching and a weir chamber under the Spree river.

All equipment for the operation, such as power, telecommunication and air conditioning systems is installed in the underground station building.

As a result, the station was rescheduled and an exit relocated so parts of these relics remain preserved and may possibly be presented by an "archaeological window".
