Construction work for the station began in 1997 and was carried out using the cut-and-cover method with Berlin shoring . In the course of the construction work, the "Fischhäusla" and the old Maxbrücke had to be demolished.

The architectural design was based on a design by Dana Birk (formerly Dana Tamara Trieb), who won the design competition announced by the Georg-Simon-Ohm University of Nuremberg . The platform hall looks very light due to the use of light colors and the materials stainless steel and glass. The platform walls are clad with gray tiles and provided with small wedges. These are blue in the direction out of town and symbolize the river, in the direction inward the many bright colors are intended to indicate the diversity of urban life.
