When the steam railway line to Wedel was opened on 1 December 1883, also a station in the small farmer's village of Sülldorf was established. It was then also used for freight traffic and had 3 tracks. After electrification of the line to Sülldorf, which was completed on 14 May 1950, the third track north of the station was removed. The platform was fully renovated in 2013.
