It was built in 1913 by the architects F.and W. Hennings. The architecture of the station building with its distinctive thatched roof is based on the looks of traditional northern-German farmhouses.
On 29 December 1943, Dahlem-Dorf was destroyed due to air raids. In 1945 it was closed for a few months due to the war. In 1980, the thatched roof of the building burned down due to arson. It was rebuilt with an additional lift in 1981.[1]
Two wooden seating groups designed as a group of figures by Berlin artist have been referring to the nearby ethnological museum since 1984.
Dahlem-Dorf station was named Europe's most beautiful in 1987 in Japan.
