The station is located below the Hirschlandplatz west of Kettwiger Straße, the main shopping road of the city. It has two levels. The upper level is a feeder level for pedestrians, the lower station hall has two tracks with side platforms.

History

The station opened on Pentecost 1977 under the name of Wiener Platz (Vienna square), the former name of the square. 1985 the square was renamed into Hirschlandplatz after the Jewish Hirschland family, who founded the Simon Hirschland Bank and was expropriated by the National Socialists in 1938.

Until the opening of the track to Berliner Platz on 27 November 1981, the station was the terminus of the first line of the Essen Stadtbahn.[2]
