The station opened on 20 December 1970, under the name Luxembourg/Luxemburg, as a premetro (underground tram) station on the tram line between Madou and Porte de Namur/Naamsepoort. It became a heavy metro station when this line was converted on 2 October 1988 and its name was changed on that occasion to reflect the aboveground square. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it now lies on the joint section of lines 2 and 6.[1][2]
