The Lueneburg station consists of two formerly independent stations of the city of Lueneburg . Today Lüneburg East is the actual train station, Lüneburg West is only part of the train station . Both station buildings are opposite each other on the station forecourt between the station sections.

investment

The train station actually consists of two train stations, each with their own reception building, which are separated by the Bahnhofstrasse and opposite each other.

Westbahnhof, used as a casino for a long time

The Lüneburg West train station is on the Wittenberge – Bucholz line . The entrance building with its elaborate late classical architecture is now used as an amusement arcade. In addition to the house platform (now platform 6), there is another platform (platform 7), where regional trains run to and from Hamburg and Dannenberg.

The Lüneburg Ost station section has a somewhat simpler building that is still used today as a reception building. In addition to the main platform, there are two platforms with two tracks each, a third platform east of it was not used for years and was removed in the 2010s.

The freight yard is located south of the passenger station . Until mid-1960, the Lüneburg depot was located east of it on the opposite side of the tracks . Until the redesign of the station area between 1994 and 2002, the facilities in the depot were still used to park rail vehicles.

In addition, the Lüneburg Süd station of the East Hanoverian Railways (OHE) was located south of the city . This was almost completely dismantled and partially built over and can only be guessed at from a footpath that runs at a similar point (but a few meters higher).

In Lüneburg there was also the Lüneburg Nord station of the OHE on the route to Lübeck .

Furnishing

Bicycle parking garage at the train station

The station has besides its own park and ride - car park also has two bicycle parking garages , an automated Fahrradleihstation of StadtRAD Lüneburg and a Kiss & Ride Plant. In addition, the train station is connected to the ZOB Lüneburg and a taxi stand.

Art in the train station

Merian's city view of Lüneburg, which served as a template for the mural

The Bardowick painter Hugo Friedrich Hartmann (1870–1960) painted two large murals in 1939 in the waiting hall of the Ostbahnhof. One picture shows a heathland, the other a view of the city of Lüneburg based on an engraving from the Topographia Germaniae by Matthäus Merian the Elder .

stretch

The Ostbahnhof is on the main route from Hanover to Hamburg and is served by both Deutsche Bahn AG trains and the Metronom Eisenbahngesellschaft . In addition to regional trains, Intercity and Intercity Express trains also stop in Lüneburg .

The route to Lübeck via Lauenburg / Elbe and Büchen , as well as the route to Bleckede , also runs from the Ostbahnhof .

The former continuous line from Wittenberge to Buchholz runs through the Westbahnhof , which is now a single-track branch line to Dannenberg Ost, known as the Wendlandbahn, which became known for the nuclear waste transports to the Gorleben nuclear waste storage facility . There is also a connection from the Westbahnhof to the route to Soltau Süd .

The East Hanoverian Railways operate the routes to Bleckede and Soltau , which are only indirectly connected to each other and via DB Netz AG track systems, in freight and excursion traffic. While passenger trains from Bleckede ended in the Ostbahnhof instead of the OHE station Lüneburg Nord as early as 1960 , the end point of the passenger trains from Soltau was always the Lüneburg Süd station, one kilometer away, and an introductory contract for trains to the Westbahnhof was only signed between DBAG and OHE. The scheduled OHE passenger traffic to Bleckede and Soltau was discontinued on May 21, 1977.

Tariff

The city and district of Lüneburg have been part of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV) since December 2004 . For connections that are not completely in the HVV, the Lower Saxony tariff applies ; In this case, the bus traffic in the city of Lüneburg and individual surrounding communities (HVV tariff area 807) can be used in the pre- and post-carriage. For trips beyond the scope of the Lower Saxony tariff, as well as in long-distance traffic, the tariffs of Deutsche Bahn apply .

Due to its proximity to Hamburg and its convenient location, Lüneburg is easy to reach, the journey time to Hamburg Central Station is around 30 minutes.
