In the station, the lines of the Wanne-Eickel – Bremen – Hamburg line and the Hanover – Hamburg line branch out, along which the Maschen marshalling yard begins after a few kilometers . The same applies to the Niederelbebahn to Cuxhaven , there are also branches to the Elbe ports and the Hamburg port railway . In addition, the Hamburg freight bypass line starts here with a further connection to Neumünster / Kiel .

The station is crossed by the S-Bahn line to Stade (lines S3 and S31) in a tunnel, which has a stop here.

history

The first Harburg train station was opened in 1847 for the Celle – Harburg railway line. It was later used as a freight station for general cargo and express cargo. The area between the eastern and western station canals lay fallow for a long time after the railway facilities were dismantled.

Another station was built in 1872 with the opening of the line to Hamburg. It was in the direction of the Elbbrücken on Grubestrasse (today: Hannoversche Strasse ). It was replaced by today's train station, which was opened on May 1, 1897 as the main train station of the city of Harburg. The architect Hubert Stier provided the designs . At the same time, instead of the Unterelbeschen station (1881–1984), the new central station became the starting point of the Niederelbe railway to Cuxhaven.

He kept the name Harburg Hauptbahnhof until 1927, after which it was called Harburg-Wilhelmsburg Hauptbahnhof until 1938 , and has had its current name since April 1, 1938.

While Harburg had only been served by conventional trains until then, in October 1983 the Hamburg – Harburg S-Bahn line was inaugurated, with direct-current multiple units, whose double-track tunnel stop was built across the platforms.

On October 18, 2003, a cable fire in the S-Bahn tunnel caused damage worth millions. People weren't hurt. The S-Bahn traffic between Harburg Rathaus and Wilhelmsburg was interrupted until October 27, 2003.

In the course of the Olympic Summer Games in 2024 or 2028, it was planned around 2015 to temporarily extend some platforms in Harburg station if a contract was awarded to Hamburg. According to the Senate bill, two tracks should have been restored for this.

Station facilities

The passenger station has three platforms , each with two tracks. There are two tracks to the west and three tracks to the east for passing freight trains. The two main buildings, the entrance building (originally with baggage handling, where the travel center is today) and the reception building (originally with waiting room 1st and 2nd class and opposite waiting room 3rd and 4th class) are made of brick. The station building is located in the area of ​​the wide middle platform. A covered pedestrian bridge connects all platforms with the entrance building on Hannoversche Straße. The wide central platform used to have a head ramp at the northern end and had three sidings on the southern side , which lay between the two edges of the railway. The former main post office on Neuländer Platz behind the train station, which was completed at the end of the 1980s and is now the former main post office, has a connection to the platform on tracks 1 and 2. There is a retrofitted ramp here to transport mail and parcels loaded by rail into the post office building. However, this facility was only used for a short time. The original plan was to use the third, eastern freight track directly for loading mail from the new post office. Since the rail mail traffic now only takes place via centralized distribution centers of Deutsche Post AG using containers, this structural connection was superfluous.

To the south of the passenger station was a two-sided marshalling yard , which was replaced by a much smaller simple track harp for local freight traffic after its closure as a result of the construction of the Maschen marshalling yard . There is also a track storage facility. There used to be the Hamburg-Harburg repair shop northeast of the passenger station, whose listed halls were converted and preserved for use as a hardware store.

In the course of the economic stimulus programs, the reception building is to be refurbished with energetic measures by DB Station & Service AG . In addition, the overpass is being renovated and weather protection is being improved.

The station is to be supplemented by an underground station as part of the Harburg connecting curve.

Kulturbahnhof

In the building between the platforms, in the former 3rd and 4th class waiting room, which was later used as a teaching signal box, the jazz club has been located in the signal box since 2005 . Opposite it is the former 1st and 2nd class waiting room, the original coffered ceiling of which has been preserved. It is home to the Art Association Harburger Bahnhof e. V. with changing art exhibitions.
