Named after the Waidmannslust district, which took its name from an inn.
Waidmannslust (roughly ‘huntsman's delight’) began as a villa colony on land bought in 1875 by Ernst Bondick, a forester and innkeeper. The area was named after his inn, the Gasthaus Waidmannslust. Bondick also paid for the colony's own stop on the Nordbahn, which opened on 20 May 1884.
