on the Walddörfer railway line, as a horse race took place on the nearby race track of Trabrennbahn Farmsen. Population was sparse in the vicinity, so the stop was not needed during the first years except for horse riding events. For the latter use, in 1931, a train reversing facility with four siding tracks was built. Since 1 October 1933 the station was serviced constantly.

The station was fully renovated in 2001, and a lift was added then. There were plans to rename it to ''Traberweg'' but the name was kept because the compound of former Trabrennbahn, re-developed as a residential area, was considered as a benchmark in the area.
