History

The station was opened on 1 July 1889 under the name of Oetzsch. It has had the following names:

• until 1905: Oetzsch
• until 1924: Ötzsch
• until 1934: Oetzsch
• since 1934: Markkleeberg

After Oetzsch and Markkleeberg had united to form Oetzsch-Markkleeberg in 1915, the station retained the name of Oetzsch. It was only with the formation of the new town of Markkleeberg that it was renamed to Markkleeberg. In 1969, the station was integrated in the Leipzig S-Bahn network, which since 2013 has formed part of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland. Since 2013, there have been no platforms on the main line.
