The first subway line reached Fürth Hauptbahnhof in 1985 which would remain its endpoint until 1998. The focus thus shifted to the construction of a second subway line in Nuremberg. On 28 January 1984, Nuremberg's second U-Bahn line, U2, went into service between Plärrer and Schweinau.
This station is the longest in the Nuremberg subway network with 268 metres (879 ft) and replaces the two abandoned tram stops Friesenstraße and Schweinau, which were formerly located at the two present-day subway exits.
Between Messe and Bauernfeindstraße the subway passes through the tightest curve in the Nuremberg subway network used in scheduled service. This curve was still designed for a tram line before the decision to build a subway instead was taken, explaining the small curve radius. The maximum speed allowed in this area is 50 km / h.

The U1 line goes to the Nuremberg Messe (exhibition hall) amongst others, line U2 links the Hauptbahnhof with Nuremberg Nordost station, the departure point for the Gräfenberg Railway to Franconian Switzerland and Nuremberg Airport. The subway stop is equipped with orange tiles on the walls, intended as signifying an important interchange station.
Out of all Nuremberg U-Bahn lines, U3 is the youngest and the only one with extensions currently under construction.

An extension west towards Großreuth bei Schweinau was opened on 15 October 2020.
