Holstenstraße station (Hamburg)

Holstenstraße is a railway station in Hamburg, Germany, located in the quarter Altona-Nord in the borough Altona.[1] It is a station for the rapid transit trains of the city railway and the commuter trains of the AKN railway plc (AKN). The station is managed by the DB Station&Service.
The station is directly beside the musical theatre Neue Flora and near the beer brewery of the Holsten Brewery plc. In 2005 the railway station was in the media because at its bus stop people believed to have eavesdropped three men planning a terrorist attack. This caused a massive police investigation.[3]

[edit] History
On 28 September 1883, a Holstenstraße station was opened for a horsecar line, from Millerntor — near Reeperbahn — to Holstenstraße.[4]
In 1893, the station was built elevated, as an alternate for the at-grade station called Schulterblatt at the current location. The station was part of the link line from Hamburg central station to Altona central station. During the bombing of Hamburg in World War II in 1943, the station building was destroyed and provisionally rebuild. In the end of the 1980s, the Station was completely renovated, with a new platform building and entrance.[5]
[edit] Layout
Holstenstraße is an elevated railway station with an island platform and two tracks. There is no personnel attending the station, but SOS and information telephones and ticket machines are available. Through a lift the station is accessible for handicapped persons.[6]
Tracks of the long distance and regional trains are separated, these trains do not stop at Holstenstraße station.
[edit] Services
The station is served by the line S11, S21 and S31 of the Hamburg S-Bahn, and the line A1 of the AKN.[7] The city trains calls the station every 5 to 10 minutes in the rush hours.
