History

Originally, the station belonged to the upper Wiental ( between the train and the station Hütteldorf Meidling main street) and was called Unter St. Veit- tree garden. The opening took place on 1 June 1898. 1910 a porch was built. On 21 February 1945, the station was completely destroyed by a bomb, causing the original architectural character of the station with the typical elements of Otto Wagner was lost. Therefore, the trains ran until 1947 without stopping by, until February 14 in the direction Meidling and until March 4 in the direction Hütteldorf. The reconstruction took place in a simplified form, but the old foundations were reused, making the outline of the old station building corresponded. Therefore, the station in the late 1970s and early 1980s was completely rebuilt during the conversion to underground operation using the panel system of the group of architects Metro and opened on 20 December 1981. On the west side is also a B6 station of the power stations was built.
