The Repsold tunnel in the railway embankment is a preliminary construction work for the Hamburg subway from the time of the new construction of the Hamburg main station from 1900 to 1906. When the construction of the subway branch line to Rothenburgsort began in 1912 , the railway viaduct was widened from six to ten tracks became necessary. The remaining space would not have been enough for a ramp to cross Spaldingstrasse. For example, embankments were built on both sides of the viaduct and the underground line was laid on a bridge over the railway tracks. When the viaduct was renovated in the 1970s, access to this tunnel had to be created. On this occasion, the embankments were filled with an entrance; the tunnel has since been accessible to pedestrians to the Münzviertel.

The " Hochbahn " at that time crossed Norderstraße and Spaldingstraße and ran parallel to the railway tracks to the south from the "Spaldingstraße" station bordering the Münzviertel. It was finished in 1915 and destroyed in World War II.
