The Hamburg Dammtorbahnhof - since February 27, 2019 with the suffix "university" - is a remote station of the train station Category 2 for rail and tram -Transport in Hamburg . It is named after the Dammtor , a former gate of the city fortifications , and is located in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli ( Hamburg-Mitte district ), on the border with Hamburg-Rotherbaum (Eimsbüttel district). The current facility was opened in 1903 and replaced the previous station on the Hamburg-Altona connecting line . It was intended as a parade train station for state visits .
Hamburg Dammtor is the third largest of Hamburg's five long-distance train stations in terms of the number of passengers, although it only has two platforms. The north-eastern platform is reserved for S-Bahn traffic, the two tracks have been electrified with busbars since 1939 , and until 1955 with overhead lines for the AC trains of that time . The two tracks on the so-called long-distance platform are used by long-distance and regional trains and have an overhead line. The station signs on the long-distance platform have the addition Messe- und Kongressbahnhof - the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH) is located a short distance from the south-western rear exit of the station building.
In September 2006 the non-profit "Allianz pro Schiene" e. V. made Hamburg Dammtor train station the best metropolitan train station in Germany.
Since there are no more switches at the Dammtorbahnhof , this is not defined as a train station in German rail operations , but as a stopping point for the S-Bahn and long-distance and regional trains.
history
Railway station from 1866
The first Dammtor station in Hamburg was established in 1866 on the newly built Hamburg-Altona connection line .
The station building in the Wilhelminian style with a central section and side wings had a platform on the northern side that faced the course of the Alsterglacis at the confluence of Neue Rabenstrasse . The southern side bordered with a small forecourt on a continuation of the Tiergartenstraße narrowed towards the Inner Alster . The Cinemaxx cinema is located here today . This location is shown on city maps from this period.
The through station, initially at ground level, had a special track for the emperor's train and special princely rooms on the ground floor in addition to the connecting tracks.
On a city map from 1888 in French, the then Dammtorbahnhof is entered as “Gare de Kiel”, ie “Kieler Bahnhof”.
After the entire route had been relocated to an elevated, crossing-free embankment from 1898 and the new and larger station was completed in 1903, the first Dammtor station was demolished. The simultaneous existence of both stations at this time is also recorded on a city map from 1900.
Railway station from 1903
The new Dammtor station required more space than the first station, and at that time the entire connecting line was raised above street level with a dam and overpasses. The new station was set up further west of the first station on the other side of the Dammtordamm while the first station was still in operation. On June 7, 1903, the new station was officially opened in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II , which led to the nickname “Kaiserbahnhof”.
The combination of reception building and station hall has four tracks on two central platforms, which are spanned by an Art Nouveau hall construction partially clad with sandstone . This was built in 1903 according to plans by the architect Ernst Moeller and is 112 meters long, 25 meters wide and 23.5 meters high.
The building is a listed building and was extensively restored between 1999 and 2002 according to plans by Studio & Partners from Milan. The station hall was rebuilt and the long-distance platform covered over a length of 200 m outside the hall aisle. In addition, stairs were relocated in the station and another exit was built on the long-distance platform (towards the congress center). The total costs of around 24 million euros were mainly raised by Deutsche Bahn AG (21.85 million euros) and the federal government (2.15 million euros).

Surroundings
The northern side of the station building is on Theodor-Heuss-Platz , into which Edmund-Siemers- Allee opens from the east and Rothenbaumchaussee from the north . Adjacent to this is the Rotherbaum district . The central bus stop is located in front of the train station. The main building of the University of Hamburg is located on Edmund-Siemers-Allee with the Grindelviertel starting behind it . Between the Rothenbaumchaussee leading from the station forecourt and Mittelweg lies the green area of the Moorweide .
The forecourt to the south-west of the rear station exit and the CCH congress, trade fair and event center there with the Radisson Blu hotel tower are administratively still part of a narrow branch of the St. Pauli district . The Dag-Hammarskjöld pedestrian bridge (named after Dag Hammarskjöld as well as the forecourt ) leads here to the entrance of the Stephansplatz underground station (here already in the Neustadt district) and to the Old Botanical Garden as part of the Planten un Blomen park and further to the Hamburg city center .
At the southeast end of the station hall, the four-lane Dammtordamm crosses , which is spanned by a bridge for the railroad tracks and continues north into Mittelweg.
Importance of the station
With around 55,000 travelers per day and 273,000 station stops per year, the station is the third largest train station in Hamburg and one of five long-distance train stations in the city. 310 long-distance and regional trains and 527 S-Bahn trains serve the station every day.
The prestigious ambience of the station complex was also used to welcome well-known guests of state, such as the British King Edward VII , the Emperor of Ethiopia , Haile Selassie , the queens Elizabeth II of England , Margaret of Denmark and Juliana of the Netherlands and the Shah of Persia , Reza Pahlavi .
Around 30 shops and restaurants with around 150 workplaces are located on around 10,300 square meters of usable space.
