The station was designed by A.C. Walter,[3] and opened on 11 October 1986.[2] It echoes the Alte Oper's Renaissance Revival architecture with its arched, column-free design. It was the first station on the Frankfurt U-Bahn network to be built completely free of columns.[2]
Location
The station is located in the Innenstadt district of the city, under Opernplatz. The eastern entrances, including the station's lift, are located in the square itself, while the western entrances are on Bockenheimer Landstraße, at the intersection with Kettenhofweg.
The Taunusanlage S-Bahn station is located one block south of the square's western edge on Taunusanlage.
