The station's construction was part of the fourth expansion stage of the Vienna U-Bahn.

Before the opening of the extension of the U1, the eastern branch of the tram line 67, which had been built at the Vienna International Garden Exhibition in 1974, ended here. It was shortened to the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung during the construction of the U-Bahn and closed with the opening of the extension.

In the area of the subway station, a storage and inspection hall for U1 trains and a park-and-ride facility for commuters from the surrounding area were built.[1] Exits lead to Laaer-Berg-Strasse, Hämmerlgasse, Biererlgasse and Kurbadstraße.
