About
The station sits on the border of Stadlau and Aspern in Donaustadt. It lies between Donauspital to the east and Stadlau to the west. It was inaugurated on 2 October 2010 with the opening of the third section of the U2 line, between Stadion and Aspernstraße, crossing the Danube via the Donaustadtbrücke. Four buses - the 92A, 95A, 96A, and the 26 night bus - stop at the station, alongside the 25 tram.The station was built above ground, next to the Stadlau cemetery, with two stairs and two lifts leading to the island platform. To keep the building costs cheap and to withstand the heavy foot traffic, the station was outfitted with granite floors, walls, and ceilings. Natural sources of light were integrated into the design to enhance the station’s openness, contributing to a brighter space.
The station is surrounded by apartments, sits opposite a Spar supermarket, and has an Anker bakery and a pizza place.
