The opening took place on May 26, 1979 with the commissioning of the tunnel section for lines 308 and 318 from the main train station via Berliner Platz and the Schauspielhaus underground station to the ramp at the Bergmannsheil stop on Hattinger Straße .

The opening for the section to Herne of the U35 took place on September 2, 1989. It was extended in 1993 by the section to the Hustadt district .

Lines 302 and 310 have been running underground in the inner city since January 29, 2006.

Also in 2006 the underground connection of the line 306 between the town hall and the main train station was opened.

Screens have been installed on the platforms since 2012 to reduce the waiting time for passengers.
