The freight bypass is a railway line in Hamburg . It runs from Hamburg-Eidelstedt via Hamburg-Rothenburgsort to Hamburg-Harburg and connects the long-distance Hamburg railway lines, bypassing the connecting line and the junctions in the apron of the Hamburg-Altona station and Hamburg main station . The route is mainly used for rail freight transport.
history
The first section of the freight bypass line was put into operation in 1902 under the leadership of Hermann Textor , technical director of the Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn- Gesellschaft, as a connection between its Wandsbek station on the Lübeck-Hamburg route and Rothenburgsort station on the Berlin-Hamburg railway . From February 21, 1903, it was tied through to the main freight station to bypass the Hamburg main train station . An extension to Ohlsdorf along the connecting line took place before the First World War, as was the connection between Hamburg-Eidelstedt and Hamburg-Lokstedt .
During the Second World War, rail traffic through downtown Hamburg was repeatedly interrupted by bombing raids and the trains were diverted via the freight bypass. The embankment along the Kellinghusenstrasse –Ohlsdorf subway branch line had already been raised when it was built, but the subsequent bridges over the Alster and Tarpenbek were missing .
The direct closing of the gap between Rothenburgsort and the Elbe bridges (without worrying about the Hamburg main freight station) and the expansion to Harburg along the existing route with a new Oberhafenbrücke and reconstruction of the former main freight station on the site of the former Venlo station went into operation on August 13, 1996, so that the Maschen marshalling yard is now connected to Schleswig-Holstein via the freight bypass.
In 2009, work began on providing the stretch between Groß Borstel and Alsterdorf with noise barriers in order to relieve the local residents.
Route
Northern freight bypass
The northern freight bypass line branches off to the east from the line to Elmshorn between the former marshalling yard, now the ICE repair shop Bw AH1 Hamburg-Eidelstedt , and the Hamburg-Eidelstedt train station , to which there is a track connection . There was a small freight yard in Hamburg-Lokstedt . Several large car dealerships on Nedderfeld were supplied from here via a siding .
The line continues (it was planned and laid out with two tracks, but only "provisionally" single-tracked, with the track alternating on one of the two sides or in the middle) to the former Barmbek freight station at the level of the Rübenkamp S-Bahn station ( City Nord) and Alte Wöhr . A short branch line from Hamburg-Ohlsdorf joins the S-Bahn-HP Rübenkamp , via which there is a connection to both the Hamburg S-Bahn and the Hamburg U-Bahn . From Ohlsdorf there was a railway track on the east side of the U1 underground line through Langenhorn to the (former) Ochsenzoll freight station ( Langenhorner Bahn ).
The freight bypass runs from Ohlsdorf in a south-south-east direction on a single track to the Hamburg-Horn junction , where a connecting curve from Hamburg-Wandsbek station joins the route to Lübeck . The northern part of the freight bypass ends at the former Hamburg-Rothenburgsort marshalling yard on the route to Berlin . Only a few tracks are still used at all of these stations.
As part of the expansion of the Hamburg – Lübeck line , the 3.3 km long section between the Horn depot and Rothenburgsort was double-tracked by the end of 2007, and eight bridges were widened. The existing track between Horn and Eidelstedt is being rehabilitated, which will enable higher speeds but will not require a plan approval procedure. The noise protection on this section is to be improved as part of the federal noise abatement program.
Ohlsdorf siding
There was also a small freight yard in Ohlsdorf, the grounds of which the Hamburger Hochbahn now uses as a track storage facility.
To the south there is a track connection to the Hamburg S-Bahn. Since the Alstertalbahn did not have a separate freight track, goods traffic was operated there on the S-Bahn tracks. In addition, the Hamburg-Ohlsdorf depot is connected to the railway network.
North of the Ohlsdorf underground and S-Bahn station, the freight track continued along the Langenhorn Railway to its original end point at Ochsenzoll . Today there is the only track connection from the railway to the Hamburg subway network in the north of Ohlsdorf station. The long-disused track to Ochsenzoll has been almost completely dismantled since 2008, only a short section still exists at Langenhorn Nord. Parts of the route were used to unwind the airport S-Bahn .
The track connection between the Barmbek freight yard and the main underground workshop was broken off in 2005. During the Second World War, this track was extended to Heidenreich & Harbeck AG , a lathe manufacturer that was important for the war effort .

Southern freight bypass
The southern part of the freight bypass has been planned since the 1920s. It was to branch off the Berlin route north of Tiefstack and, as a new route, run in a wide arc through the marshland to Harburg. There it should be connected to the existing routes to Hanover and Bremen. This connection was shown as the upgraded Hamburg-Harburg-Hamburg-Rothenburgsort route in the 1985 Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan without a specific route . Since a new line through the ecologically sensitive Vier- und Marschlande could not be implemented, an upgraded line was built between 1987 and 1996 . Elements are from south to north:
- New construction of two overpass structures in front of Harburg:
- The southern one brings the freight trains from Maschen marshalling yard via the upgraded Hamburg – Hanover line east to the new double-track new line to Rothenburgsort.
- The northern one replaced the long loop of the Bremen line to the (until then eastern) tracks of the Hanoverian Railway. In Hamburg-Harburg station, for example, the two Bremen tracks are centered between the Hanover tracks.
- Increase in the passage speeds in relation
- Hamburg – Hanover at 120 km / h (tracks 1 and 4)
- Hamburg – Bremen to 100 km / h (tracks 2 and 3)
- Maschen – Hamburg Lower Elbe at 60 km / h (tracks 7 and 8)
- Maschen-Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg at 80 km / h (tracks 7 and 8)
- Between Hamburg-Harburg and the junction in Hamburg-Veddel , another double-track line was built to the west with a bridge over the Süderelbe to connect the Hamburg port railway (Hohe Schaar and Hamburg-Süd port station ).
- The tracks between Hamburg-Harburg and the former Hamburg Hgbf station have been rearranged:
- old:
- two passenger train tracks in the east
- two freight train tracks in the west
- New:
- two freight train tracks in the east
- two passenger train tracks in the middle
- two freight train port tracks in the west
- old:
- The freight train turning system at Hamburg Hgbf station was abandoned, the track plan was modified and simplified.
- Between the Norderelbbrücke and the Hamburg-Rothenburgsort train station, a new double-track connecting line with a bridge over the Oberhafenkanal was built.
- The previous double-track line Hamburg Hgbf – Hamburg-Rothenburgsort was dismantled.
- The Hamburg Hbf station was rebuilt to connect platform track 8 in the directions Lübeck and (new) Hamburg-Harburg with an extension of the platform between tracks 7 and 8.
- The signal box area at the Süderelbe junction is remote-controlled from the expanded and modernized signal box in Hamburg-Harburg (with the dismantling of the signal box building Sf), the same applies to the signal boxes Veddel Vf, Hob and Wr IV (in Hamburg Hgbf station). The signal box buildings Hob and Wr IV were dismantled.
After German reunification, in addition to the dismantled old railway line between Hamburg Hgbf and Hamburg-Rothenburgsort, a new single-track line was built so that all platforms in Hamburg Hbf station (tracks 5-8 and 11-14) can be reached on the Hamburg-Berlin route . In 2016/2017, the construction site at Berliner Tor was bypassed on this route, where the bridges of the S-Bahn and long-distance railway tracks over the Lübeck – Hamburg line and retaining walls were renewed.

traffic
In addition to freight trains, there are regular intercity trains on the route between the Hamburg-Eidelstedt depot and Hamburg Central Station, but as empty runs without passenger transport. From time to time the route is used to transfer the S-Bahn trains between the Elbgaustraße workshops and Ohlsdorf. Long-distance trains from and in the direction of Lübeck are routed between Rothenburgsort and Hamburg-Horn Bbf via the freight bypass train, provided they come to one of tracks 11-14 in the western part of Hamburg Central Station. In addition, in the event of operational disruptions, passenger trains are diverted on the route.
Planning
The expansion of the connection between Hamburg-Horn and Hamburg-Wandsbek train station has been announced for the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 ; the goals are two-track construction and an expansion speed of 80 km / h.
