History

The station was originally opened on steam railway line to Berlin. Before 29 September 1968, steam trains served the station, which were originally called the S6 line of the HVV network. They were replaced by diesel locomotives for a few months, but already on 1 June 1969 the electrical S-Bahn was extended to Aumühle station.

From 24 May 1994 to 1 June 1997 S-Bahn operation rested behind Bergedorf - the separation of S-Bahn and railway tracks had been completed. For the following five years preceding station Reinbek was the terminus of the trains of the S21, so again there was no S-Bahn service in Wohltorf. On 26 May 2002 the S-Bahn to Aumühle and also the completely re-built station in Wohltorf, now surrounded by noise barriers, were reopened.
