Due to the crossing situation with the Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg railway line, a few hundred meters east of the Hanover train station was built there. The freight traffic was operated in 1913 until the central goods handling station in the Fledder district was completed. The reception building served as an administration building until 2004, but has now been sold.
