The underground station Nordostbahnhof (abbreviation: NO ) is the 34th  underground station of the Nuremberg underground and was opened on January 27, 1996. It is 902 m from the Schoppershof underground station and 835 m from the Herrnhütte underground station . At the train station, in the direction of Röthenbach, there is a sharp change of platform and in the direction of the airport there is a parking and sweeping system up to the Herrnhütte underground station . The northeast station was opened on February 1, 1908 as part of the Graefenberg Railway. According to earlier plans, the station was to be called Leipziger Platz . It is used by around 19,100 passengers every day.

location

The train station is located in the Nordostbahnhof district of Nuremberg and extends from north to south under Leipziger Platz between Mommsenstrasse and Kieslingstrasse. From both platform heads, staircases lead to a distribution level that spans the entire platform area. From the southern head of the distribution floor, in turn, stairs lead to z. Sometimes as ramps on the south side of Leipziger Platz, Elbinger and Mommsenstraße. From the north head of the distribution floor, stairs lead directly to Leipziger Platz and the bus station , on the north side of Kieslingstrasse via a ramp to the Nuremberg Nordost station and under the Ringbahn to Bessemerstrasse. An elevator connects the platform level with the distribution floor and Leipziger Platz.

Building and architecture

The station structure is 160 m long, 17 m wide and 11 m deep (one and a half times the depth). The construction work for this began on June 1, 1992 and was carried out in the open construction method with Berlin shoring . When the Leipziger Platz was completed, a four-story office building should have been located above the underground station. For this, the northern part of the station was left open at the top and protected against wind and weather by a temporary roof structure that can be easily removed again. The plans have not been carried out in the form to this day, so the temporary roof structure is still above the open train station.

The design of the station was entrusted to Johannes Peter Hölzinger , who at the time was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg . He designed red ribbons that run vertically in the middle of the platform and inclined towards the end of the platform. These are supposed to symbolize standstill, acceleration and braking of the underground trains.
