The station is in the cutting running from the southern ramp of the City Tunnel. Its planning name was Semmelweisstraße. It consists of two 140 metre-long side platforms that are located directly south of Semmelweisstraße, which crosses the railway tracks here; this street was recently built to connect Kurt-Eisner-Strasse with Zwickauer Straße. Access to the platforms is by stairs and ramps.
MDR stands for Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, a public broadcaster located near the station.
