Hamburg-Harburg station

Hamburg-Harburg station is a railway facility in Harburg with three platforms and six tracks serving both long-distance and S-Bahn services. The station combines surface-level mainline infrastructure with underground S-Bahn connections to move passengers across the region.

The station opened on 1 May 1897 as Harburg Hauptbahnhof and was renamed Harburg-Wilhelmsburg Hauptbahnhof in 1928. Electrification of mainline services arrived in 1965, bringing modern locomotive technology to the routes.

The station was designed by architect Hubert Stier and stands as a cultural heritage monument within Germany's railway infrastructure. The building reflects the architectural style of its era and continues to shape the character of Harburg's city center.

The station serves regional trains, long-distance services, and ICE routes to cities like Munich and Frankfurt, with bus connections at the front entrance. Travelers will find clear signage and regular train departures throughout the day.

The station is one of Hamburg's four main railway stations and played a role in connecting the southern region with the broader network. Commuters and travelers today rely on it as a key junction serving the south side of the city.
