The Lübeck train station was located on Spaldingstraße in Hammerbrook from 1864 to 1906 (construction of the Hamburg main train station ) . It was from him that the LBE ( Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn ) line went to Lübeck .
history
After long quarrels, especially with the Danish territorial sovereignty at the time, the LBE was finally able to open the direct route between Hamburg and Lübeck via Oldesloe and Wandsbek instead of the cumbersome connection via Büchen and the Berlin-Hamburg Railway .
The station building of the passenger station was on the north side of Spaldingstrasse between Nagelsweg and Hammerbrookstrasse. The treatment systems with turntable and engine shed were located further to the east between Hammerbrookstrasse and Heidenkampsweg. The tracks themselves were roughly in the course of today's railway line between the main train station and Berliner Tor station .
Because of the poor subsoil, the building was designed as a half-timbered construction with wooden cladding and covered with roofing felt. Remnants of the foundations were exposed during the construction of the S-Bahn in the direction of Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg. The route coming from Lübeck turned south behind the passenger station at the level of Nagelsweg, where the Lübeck freight yard was located between Sonninstrasse and the then Lübeck Canal . The then Technical Director Hermann Textor closed this freight yard in 1902 and instead connected the line to the freight yard of the Hanover station in Rothenburgsort . This connection later became the first section of the Hamburg freight bypass .
Under Walther Brecht , LBE's chairman at the time, express train services to Copenhagen and Stettin were introduced and the LBE track from Lübeck on the route to the new central station was expanded to double- track. Due to the structural reorganization , the Lübeck train station was modernized . Since 1888 the suburban traffic to Ahrensburg increased strongly. Though they thought of building a third track there, this was not realized. In 1900 the Lübeck train station sold 559,000 tickets, Wandsbek 224,000, Rahlstedt 204,000 and Ahrensburg 148,000.
Connection with other railway systems in Hamburg
Turning off the main line, the tracks of the Lübeck freight depot stretched between Nagelsweg and Sonninstraße and provided a connection to the tracks of the Berliner Bahn via Amsinckstraße. However, this only affected freight traffic; passenger trains were not handed over via this. For the new tram to be built, the LBE provided space near Hasselbrook and was given the right to use the new Hamburg Central Station against payment. First of all, on August 20, 1902, a connecting line to Wandsbek was created from the new Rothenburgsort marshalling yard (as part of today's freight bypass) and then the new siding for the Lübeck freight yard no longer from the north as before, but from the south from the Rothenburgsort marshalling yard.
In contrast to the Berlin train station , the Lübeck train station was a bit out of the way. From November 2, 1880, the Dornbusch - Berliner Bahnhof - Horn horse-drawn tram ran over Spaldingstraße past Lübeck train station and connected it to downtown Hamburg. Another horse-drawn tram was added on October 21, 1887. Both lines were extended over the new Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße in November 1892 and thus offered relatively good access to the station. On April 13, 1896, both horse-drawn tram lines were electrified and then numbered 14 and 24 from 1900 . Now every five minutes a tram drove from the Lübeck train station via the Berlin train station to the inner city.
On December 6, 1906, the new main station was opened. For its part, the LBE opened the Berliner Tor and Hasselbrook stations for suburban traffic .
