The station is situated directly beside the Neue Flora musical theatre and close to the Holsten Brewery. It was the focus of significant media attention in 2005 after people at the station's bus stop allegedly eavesdropped three men planning a terrorist attack, resulting in a large-scale police investigation.[6]
