 The station was constructed from 1912 to 1914 and opened on 12 September 1918 on the Walddörfer railway line.The village of Farmsen had been an exclave of Hamburg territory, so a stop was planned here.The station was served by steam trains until 20 September 1919 and re-opened after electrification of one track on 6 September 1920 which allowed a train stop every two hours.
