The station was opened on 19 October 1971 with the first section of the north–south trunk line; the platforms of lines U4 and U5 (trunk line 3) followed in 1984. It lies in the old town beneath the Odeonsplatz and is, alongside the Hauptbahnhof and Sendlinger Tor, one of the three crossing stations of the Munich U-Bahn trunk lines.
