After the widening of Osdorfer Straße, Deutsche Reichsbahn was commissioned to widen the railway bridges and build the new tracks for the proposed station. The cost was to be met by the Senate of Berlin. However, the new work was not completed until 1998. The Lichterfelde Ost–Lichterfelde Süd S-Bahn line was reopened with the opening of the station.
