Low

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tiefstack (formerly: Tiefstaak ) is a lowland area between the Norderelbe and Bille in the east of Hamburg . It extends around the mouth of the Tiefstack Canal coming from the Bille into the Billwerder Bay , an oxbow lake of the North Elbe. The lowest point lies in the border area between the districts of Rothenburgsort and Billbrook .

Tiefstack thermal power station

Tiefstack is known for the former coal-fired power station of the Hamburgische Electricitäts-Werke (HEW), which was commissioned on January 17, 1917 with a nominal output of 20,000 kW and with its four distinctive chimneys formed the HEW logo for decades from 1923. Construction of the power plant began in 1914. When it was completed in 1925, it had 24 boilers and a nominal output of 85 MW, which, after the turbines were replaced, increased to 130 MW by 1953. In 1933, the plant was equipped as a combined heat and power plant that supplied steam to the Hamburg district heating network according to the principle of combined heat and power . In 1950 the plant was modernized into a high pressure power plant. The originally 100 meter high chimneys of the power plant were shortened in 1952 to a height of 75 meters.

From 1984 on, a combined heat and power plant with hard coal firing was built on an area flushed with sand from the North Elbe next to the power plant , which started operation in 1993. In the same year the old power station was shut down and demolished until the mid-1990s. The new power station has been in operation since Vattenfall Europe Wärme took over HEW . On the site of the coal-fired power plant, a gas and steam combined cycle power plant with 125 MW was also put into operation in 2009 , which burns natural gas .

The Tiefstack gasometer , built in the 1930s, was demolished in 1986.

traffic

The central vehicle depository for towed vehicles ( coll. Autoknast) of the Hamburg police and the traffic training area of the Hamburg traffic watch are located on the Tiefstack . There are also large parking spaces there.

railroad

Tiefstack is also the name of the Hamburg S-Bahn station located here . It is served by lines S 2 and S 21. At the same place, a demand stop of the Hamburg-Bergedorfer Railway was built in 1842 , which was called Ausschläger Weg . Due to low occupancy, the passenger service was temporarily suspended. The line extended to Berlin in 1846 was re-routed after 1900. The transition over the Tiefstack Canal was relocated to its current location and a new embankment was built to the Berliner Tor train station , where today's Tiefstack stop was opened for suburban traffic in 1908 . At the beginning of the 1990s, the railway facilities were rebuilt again: the long-distance tracks were re-routed as part of the renewal of the Berlin line. To the west of the station, a road bridge was built over the access tracks to the Rothenburgsort marshalling yard. Since 2014, the Hamburg-Tiefstack workshop of the Nordbahn railway company has been located to the north opposite the S-Bahn stop .

North of the S-Bahn stop was a marshalling yard for the Billwerder industrial railway from 1907 , which is now operated by AKN . In between was a platform for passenger traffic, which was served by the trains of the Südstormarnsche Kreisbahn until 1952 . The stairs to the platform at the extended underpass to the S-Bahn platform are still preserved today and now lead to the Nordbahn workshop.

Bus routes

Tiefstack is served by bus routes operated by the Hamburg-Holstein transport company (VHH) within the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV). These include the Metrobus line 3, which runs from the Tiefstack power plant via the Tiefstack, Rothenburgsort, Hammerbrook S-Bahn station, the center of Hamburg with Mönckebergstraße and Rathausmarkt and Neustadt, Altona-Nord, Bahrenfeld and Osdorfer Born to Schenefelder Platz, the bus lines 120 and 124, which lead from the Hamburg central bus station at the main station via Hammerbrook, Rothenburgsort, Tiefstack via the Vier- and Marschlande to Altengamme or to Bergedorf and the bus line 130, which from the underground station Burgstraße with connection to the half-ring metro bus line 25 via Hamm-Süd, Rothenburgsort, Tiefstack, Billbrook to Billstedt underground station .

Tiefstackkanal

The Tiefstack Canal connects the Bille and Billbrook Canal with Billwerder Bay, an oxbow lake in the North Elbe. The Tiefstack lock , built in 1902, is located at the mouth of the Billwerder Bay . The Tiefstackkanal, together with the Billbrook Canal and the Bille , which is navigable from the Red Bridge , serves as a transport route for the industrial companies located on Billbrook
