Schlump
The Schlump is an area in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel .
Origin of name (etymology)
The name “Up den Slump” was used as early as the middle of the 18th century. Slump is Low German and means mud. This could mean a swampy and muddy area. The naming of the neighboring Grindel in the east also indicates the original moor and swamp landscape.
An origin from the North Frisian "Schlump" for "lucky coincidence" is also possible.

Subway station
In 1909, the first pile-driving for the new elevated railway line to Hellkamp was carried out on Schlump, on Moorkamp Street. At the same time, the Schlump stop was built , which went into operation on May 25, 1912. This was half-open in a cut at the corner between the streets Schäferkampsallee and Gustav-Falke-Straße and even then had two platforms with three tracks. From here the Hellkampline was gradually put into operation until 1914.
Due to severe war damage, a new reception building was built between 1952 and 1953. From 1966 to 1968, the third Schlump stop was rebuilt as a crossing structure on two levels according to the plans of the architect Horst Sandtmann . In order to have the necessary space for the construction work and to avoid a shutdown of operations, a temporary stop with two side platforms was built on the other side of the intersection in the Schanzenpark. To do this, the tunnel in the direction of Sternschanze had to be opened over a length of 200 meters. This stop, popularly known as "Holzhausen" because of the exclusive use of wood, including the platforms, was in operation for two years from March 1966 to May 1968.
Today's stop went into operation on May 26, 1968. The lower level was only opened for a shuttle service (U2) in 1970, and since June 3, 1973, the trains on the U2 line have been running continuously between Schlump and Hauptbahnhof Nord under the Inner Alster.
