The Berliner Tor station is an important hub of public transport in the east of Hamburg city center. In particular, it is used to change between the HVV rapid transit lines .
history
With the construction of the light rail to Ohlsdorf and the construction of Hamburg Central Station , the Berlin-Hamburg railway was also re-routed . From the main train station to the Berliner Tor this has since run parallel to the Lübeck Railway , from Berliner Tor it continues in a southerly direction and connects to the old route again in Hamburg-Rothenburgsort . Both the Stadtbahn, the Lübeck Railway, the Berlin Railway and the suburban railway to Friedrichsruh received their own central platforms . Completion was in 1906.
In 1912, the subway station on the ring line was opened on the north opposite side of the street, Beim Strohshaus . During the Second World War, a Zombeck tower bunker for passengers and a three-story underground bunker for residents were built from 1940 in the immediate vicinity of the train station .
In 1958 the railway line to Berlin , on which there was hardly any long-distance traffic as a result of the division of Germany , was equipped with conductor rails for direct current operation up to Bergedorf . The S-Bahn used the platform of the suburban railway, the platform of the long-distance railway was no longer used regularly. With the construction of the City-S-Bahn , the platform of the Lübeck Railway was removed, instead an additional side platform with a new track for the S-Bahn trains towards Ohlsdorf was built.
On October 5, 1961 at 10:38 p.m., a serious railway accident occurred near the train station with 28 dead and 55 injured, see S-Bahn accident at the Berliner Tor .
Train
The for Deutsche Bahn belonging station is located on two levels. On the lower level there are the two platforms of the S-Bahn lines S1 and S11 (one middle and one side platform each) and the two tracks of the railway line to Lübeck (without platforms). In the evenings and at the weekend, the S31 trains also end at the lower central platform of the Berliner Tor S-Bahn station.
On the upper level (partly on the bridge over Anckelmannplatz) there is the central platform of the S-Bahn lines S2 and S21 (tracks 11 and 12) and the two tracks of the long-distance line towards Berlin , their central platform (track 13 and 14) has been out of service for a long time. Access to the latter was reduced in the 1980s.
A structural feature of the S-Bahn side platform in the direction of Ohlsdorf in the lower part of the station are the flashing lights installed directly under the edge of the platform. Since the track runs in a narrow curve, the distance between the platform edge and the car body is sometimes unusually large. The lights are intended to draw attention to this danger. At the same time, loudspeaker announcements sound inside the train and on the platform, which draw attention to the increased distance.
Lines S2 and S11 only run during rush hour . The trains on the S31 line only serve this station during off- peak hours ; when coming from the west, they end here.

The station of the Hamburger Hochbahn ( ring line ), which was in operation from 1912 and which at that time was parallel to today's Westphalensweg (west of the railway line to Ohlsdorf and Lübeck) with open side platforms , was abandoned in 1964 when the line to Billstedt was rebuilt. For this purpose, a new four-track underground station was built in the tunnel under the street Beim Strohshaus , from which the U3 branched off to Billstedt from 1967 and from 1968 the U2 went to the North Central Station . Since 2009, after extensive track renovations, the two directional platforms on the −2 level have been served by the U2 ( Niendorf Nord - Mümmelmannsberg ) , U3 ( Barmbek - Wandsbek-Gartenstadt ) and (since the end of 2012) U4 ( Elbbrücken - Billstedt ) lines.
In contrast to the S-Bahn station, the U-Bahn station has been barrier-free since 2014. The dark red tiles of the back track walls were removed at the same time due to the need for renovation and replaced by a red (towards Wandsbek-Gartenstadt) or turquoise (towards the south central station) paint. Apart from that, there have been no noteworthy structural changes since its completion in 1966.
In 2017, the Berliner Tor underground station had around 124,800 passengers entering and leaving the station daily (Mon-Fri). The station is next to the main train station south, the stop with the most passengers per day in the Hamburg subway network.
