The blankenese station is located about 13 kilometers west of Hamburg Central Station in Hamburg district of Blankenese . It belongs to station category 3. It is a terminal station that is now used exclusively by the Hamburg S-Bahn .
description
The station is centrally located in the Krahenberg district, into which the rear parking facilities lead into a trough. It consists of a reception building with various smaller shops and two platforms, each of which can be reached by stairs or an elevator . Since 2007, the area around the station (initially Blankeneser Bahnhofsplatz, now renamed Erik-Blumenfeld- Platz) and the station building itself have been renovated and expanded to include parking spaces, practice, office and business premises.
architecture
The central station building from 1866/67 was erected as a compact, representative plastered building. It has five window axes on each side and an excessive central risalit . Elements of the Romanesque ( arched frieze ), Gothic ( four-pass ) and the Renaissance or classicism (arched windows with wide frames and columns) were used for decoration .
The building is erected with supporting pillars above the track structure so that a single-track tunnel passage to the parking facilities is created. However, this has been blocked for several years.
history
In 1897 the building was extended to the forecourt by a similarly designed train station restaurant. Structural additions followed in 1911 - with the opening of the Gleislose Bahn Blankenese – Marienhöhe , which had its starting point at Blankenese station -, in 1929 and finally in 1953, when the row of shops on the ground floor was added. In the 1970s, a fast-food restaurant moved in here, but it disappeared in the course of the most recent renovation measures.
In 1988–1990, large parts of the station were renovated: the old steel stairs leading to the platforms were replaced by new concrete-supported buildings. Since then, an escalator and a lift have led to the main platform (platform 2/3). The platform roofs were also renovated. The access system leading to the S-Bahn was given a new color scheme (instead of dark green, now light blue with aluminum, glass and light wood elements). However, the main building was not completely renovated and was therefore still exposed to decay. This was u. a. in the years of intense discussions about the redesign of the station district in Blankenese. Several drafts were presented in around 1993 and 1997, but were rejected by parts of the Blankenese population.
Initially, only the eastern access stairs between 2002 and 2004, including the associated pedestrian bridge, which connects the streets of Witts Allee and Am Klingenberg , were replaced by a new building. It was only during the construction work that it became clear that a completely new building was required. At the beginning of 2006, the actual redesign of the area around the station began with the construction of the new road bridge over Sülldorfer Kirchenweg.
The central station building has now been repaired as part of the ongoing renovation work since 2007 and repainted in a yellow tone. The rows of shops on the ground floor have also been and are being completely redesigned. On the site of the freight station, whose old shed was demolished and the tracks removed, a. Residential houses and a supermarket built. The redesign of the area around the station will cost a total of 95 million euros. The main building has been a listed building since October 2008.
The redesign of the station square was completed in early May 2009. The direction of travel in the bus bend was reversed (now clockwise). In the new building complex behind the station building u. a. The customer center Blankenese of the Altona district is based. On October 26th, 2009 the new book hall “ Elbvororte ” was opened in a new building directly at the train station, which is to replace the previous and now closed locations Iserbrook and Rissen .
Operating history
Up until 1997 there was freight traffic in Blankenese, which in the end became increasingly sparse: freight trains going to and from the Rissen-Ölweiche station had to make heads in Blankenese. The freight locomotive then turned over platform 3 of the S-Bahn station, so that the S-Bahn traffic had to be partially aligned with it. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the station still had its own railway maintenance office.
The signal box "B" ( electromechanical , Siemens & Halske 1912) from 1927 has been preserved and is in operation . The form signals are set from here within the station.

Bus transport
The district lines 488 and 588, on which special minibuses are used, are a special feature of Hamburg's bus traffic. Line 488 (previously line 48) has been in existence since December 2018, dubbed the “ mountain goat ” by the people of Blankenese , as it travels on a circular route to and from the Blankeneser train station through the steep and narrow streets of the staircase district . Particularly characteristic were the Mercedes-Benz minibus O 309 in the pink and white express bus paint of the HVV , which shaped the cityscape of Blankenese for years. But the subsequent modern guy must now be replaced, there are new silver type vehicles MAN - Midibus used.
In addition, since October 2014, two electric buses, which were developed by Siemens in cooperation with the Italian manufacturer Rampini, have been supplementing line 488 through the stairs district .

Artwork
The Blankenese train station was also able to come up with an art object for a number of years - in the form of the wall of the platform on track 1. This was made from November 1st to 11th, 2000 by students from the Tama Art School in Tokyo together with the Hamburg artists Hildegund Schuster and Kerstin Hof Provided with associative words and characters as part of the global Agenda 21 environmental initiative . At the end of 2009, they were painted over as part of repair work on the platforms.
