History
The station was opened by the Hamburg-Bergedorf Railway Company in 1842 to serve the commuter rail in Hamburg's south-eastern quarters. On 1 June 1958 Billwerder-Moorfleet station was electrified and integrated into the Hamburg S-Bahn network.

Before the Berlin-Hamburg railway was re-built at the beginning of the 1990s, the station had an island platform. One side of it was cut off, because the space was needed for the railway line and a new container terminal, and the rest was changed into a side platform. On the other side of the S-Bahn track, in front of the station building, a new side platform was built as a replacement, so today the station has two side platforms. Also there was a signal box, which was demolished along with the island platform.
