The first train station was built in 1863-1864 on today's federal court by the architect Jakob Friedrich Wanner. It was a bag station, which could only be reached from the direction of Cham and Knonau. With an additional track triangle, the trains could be turned. When in 1897 the railways were built to Zurich via Thalwil and to Arth - Goldau, the station had to be relocated to the site of today's wedge station. The first station building was dismantled and rebuilt in Zurich Wollishofen again.

The building is from the top down viewed from three office floors, a retail space on track level and one at the city level and the basement used as a storage area. Overall 14 stores are located in the station. Specifically a new passage was built so that the pedestrian can better reach the concourse for the station building. The separate quarters Grafenau and Metalli are now better reach. For the cyclists were built new shelters. The newly created space station serves the buses as a turning place. There are also within the station at certain locations an internet connection via wireless LAN.
