History

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. But only after a second electrified track had been opened on 13 May 1921, more frequent services could be offered. On 20 May 1923 the second track was completed to Volksdorf. [1]

From 1962 to 1964 a 1,000m long railway repair workshop (Betriebswerkstatt) was built in Farmsen which was needed for the then completed U1 line. At the same time a second platform with two tracks was constructed at Farmsen station along with a new entrance from the west, where a stele by well-known sculptor Horst Janssen was erected. An entrance from the bus stop south of the station was missing until the station was fully renovated in 1996. Also a lift was added then. [1]
