The Klosterstern U-Bahn station is a tunnel stop on the Hamburg U-Bahn in the Harvestehude district ( Eimsbüttel district ) below the Klosterstern square , after which it is named. It was opened in 1929 as part of the KellJung line and is now served by the U1 line. The stop is partly in a curve. The station was built according to plans by the architect Walter Puritz . The abbreviation of the operating company Hamburger Hochbahn is KR .

The station is the last pre-war station with its original architecture and is a listed building.

Structure and location

The central platform of the underground station is twice as deep (−2 level) and extends roughly in a north-west-south direction under the name-giving roundabout. Distribution halls are connected to each end at a simple depth. On the southern side, this leads to a single exit, which is located on the western side of Rothenbaumchaussee. The northern vestibule has a much larger area and has exits on both sides of Eppendorfer Baum street.

As one of the few pre-war stations on the Hamburg subway, the stop is still largely in its original architectural condition. In the 1980s, the facility was renovated true to the original. In the summer of 2015, the barrier-free expansion and a. with an elevation of the platform and a guidance system for the blind, which was completed with the commissioning of the elevator on December 20, 2016.

Up until the 1980s, there was a simple track change to the north of the stop.

The distance to the two neighboring stops, Kellinghusenstrasse and Hallerstrasse, is about one kilometer each. On the other hand, it is only a two to four minute walk from the north exit to the Eppendorfer Baum stop on the U3 line .

construction

Today, among other things, the row of metal pillars and the triangular lamps are characteristic of the stop. They were preserved or reproduced true to the original during the restoration of the facility in the 1980s. In contrast, the operating company replaced the stop sign, which was also modeled at the time, in the design typical of the entire KellJung line (“Kloster” in a significantly larger font than “star”) for an element in the current standard type at the beginning of the 2000s.

Transitions to other means of transport
