| Opened | 16 June 1836 |
Originally the station was unplanned and the name was first given to the current Mortsel Liersesteenweg station, located on line 27. However, due to complaints by shop owners and inhabitants of the nearby Statielei, the NMBS built a new station on line 25 that received the name Oude God and the original station was renamed.
The current station building is a 1974 design from Dirk Servaes and Johan Beyne.
