Südende station was opened on 15 August 1880 on the Anhalt Railway.

The railway line was lowered in 1901 to run below the Steglitzer Damm and the station was rebuilt with an island platform.

This and the station building are located to the southwest of the bridge of the Steglitzer Damm.

Since 2 July 1929, the electric trains have operated on the 750 volts DC system of the S-Bahn.

Following the takeover of the S-Bahn by the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG, Berlin Transportation Company) on 9 January 1984, the route from Priesterweg to Lichterfelde Süd through Lankwitz was shut down.
