Even though construction was completed in 1994, it took over a decade until the subway line U55 went into service in August 2009. In the intervening period, the partially completed station with its high ceiling and unusual architecture served as a location for cultural events like performances of the opera The Magic Flute and saw use as a film set for the Resident Evil film series, for Æon Flux and for Equilibrium.
From 2009 to early 2020, only the eastern side of the island platform was used, and only as a shuttle service between Hauptbahnhof and Brandenburger Tor. On 4 December 2020 the U5 extension opened, and from this date both sides were serviced by trains.
