Townhouse bridge
The Stadthausbrücke is a bridge in the district of Hamburg-Neustadt the Mitte district of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . The bridge was named after the town house on its east side . The building , completed in 1889, connects the old and new towns of Hamburg. The bridge spans the Bleichenfleet , which can only be seen on the western side of the bridge.
The 230 meter long street with the official road key S581, which leads over the bridge and from Neuer Wall to Axel-Springer- Platz, is named after the bridge . The street is part of Hamburg's main road network .
Buildings 4, 8, 10 and 12 are listed as cultural monuments in the street.
In front of the Stadthausbrücke 8 building, the town hall, there are stumbling blocks for the communist resistance fighters Carl Burmester and Gustav Schönherr and for the homosexual Nazi victim Wilhelm Prull.
Stadthausbrücke S-Bahn station
The name Stadthausbrücke also denotes a stop on the Hamburg S-Bahn that is located near the bridge . The S-Bahn station (abbreviation: ASHS) in the City S-Bahn tunnel is a double-track stop with a central platform and was opened on June 1, 1975 as part of the partial opening of the City S-Bahn from the main station to the Landungsbrücken . It lies partly under the Bleichenfleet and the Alsterfleet , where the ceiling height is slightly reduced, presumably to ensure a sufficient water depth in the canal for ships. The S-Bahn station was built as a civil defense area, as indicated by the many doors on the intermediate levels.
The S-Bahn station has been redesigned since March 2018. For example, at the end of the work, colored panels were attached to the back track walls and the supporting pillars were given a glass panel into which advertising monitors are embedded. In March 2017, the platform was re-tiled and the stairs were given new steps. The tiles were knocked off the back rail walls, then the walls and the ceilings over the rails were painted black. From 2009 to 2017, the ceiling of the station was kept uniformly white, the walls and pillars were tiled in white and turquoise. Before the renovation in 2009, the now white parts of the pillars and the joist were painted yellow. Only the train terminal building, which is no longer in operation, remained in this yellow. There is a colored wall mosaic on the eastern distribution floor.
There are entrances to both the western and eastern ends of the platform. Since April 30, 2014, an elevator at the western entrance to the S-Bahn station has provided barrier-free access.
The S-Bahn station is served by the main lines S1 and S3 every 10 minutes during the day, and also every 10 minutes during rush hour by the repeater line S2. On the nights before Saturday and Sunday there is continuous operation of the main lines every 20 minutes, otherwise the S-Bahn station closes from around 1 a.m. to 4 a.m.
