History
The station was built based on schematics by Eugen Göbel, and was opened on November 5, 1921, under the name "Ahrensburg" with only one track. The second track at the station was added in 1957.
When the next stop on the line, "Hopfenbach," was renamed to Ahrensburg Ost in 1952, "Ahrensburg" station was renamed to Ahrensburg West to avoid confusion between the two stations.
Services
Ahrensburg West is served by Hamburg U-Bahn line U1.
