[edit] History
In November 1866, a Barmbek line was built for horsecars by the Hamburger Pferde-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (Hamburg horsecar railway company).[4] On 11 April 1895, the first new built electric tram line was opened from Barmbeker Zoll (Barmbek customs facilities) to Ohlsdorf Cemetery,[5] and on 6 December 1906, the Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vortbahn (City and suburban railway) — later abbreviated Hamburg S-Bahn — opened the double track line Ohlsdorf – Blankenese, including Barmbek station.[6] Planned as an electric railway with overhead lines, the trains were first steam powered, because of difficulties concerning the construction of the electrical installations and a delay delivering the engines.[7] In 1912, the Hamburger Hochbahn opened first part of the Hamburg U-Bahn circle line from Barmbek station via Mundsburg to central station.[8] Until 1947, Barmbek station was written Barmbeck. In end 1980s, constructing the bus station at the north side of Barmbek station gave the whole station the new westside entrance.[9]
[edit] Layout
Barmbek station is a transportation hub with an elevated railway station and a bus station for several bus routes north of it. There are three platforms with six tracks at the same level. The two U-Bahn platforms are served by trains of the branches of line U3 side by side at the same time to ease the change between it.
In the westside entrance level are some shops, escalators and lifts to the platforms and to the bus station. There is an at-grade entrance at the eastside with an exit to the south only as well. The station is fully accessible for handicapped persons.[1]
