Holstenstraße is a railway station in Hamburg, Germany, located in the quarter of Altona-Nord in the borough of Altona.[5] It is served by the rapid transit trains of the Hamburg S-Bahn network as well as AKN regional commuter trains. The station is managed by DB Station&Service.
The station is situated directly beside the Neue Flora musical theatre and close to the Holsten Brewery. It was the focus of significant media attention in 2005 after people at the station's bus stop allegedly eavesdropped three men planning a terrorist attack, resulting in a large-scale police investigation.[6]
History
On 28 September 1883, a Holstenstraße station was opened for a horsecar line, from Millerntor — near Reeperbahn — to Holstenstraße.[7]
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.[8]
