Hamburg Wandsbeker Chaussee station, Rail station in Eilbek, Germany
Hamburg Wandsbeker Chaussee is a rail station with separate levels serving both S-Bahn and U-Bahn lines on different platforms. The two transport systems operate independently, requiring passengers who transfer between them to exit the station building and rejoin at street level.
The S-Bahn stop opened in October 1907 on the extension of the link line to Ohlsdorf, serving the Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vorortbahn; the name S-Bahn came into use only in 1934. Its original entrance building was destroyed in the Second World War and replaced by a plain new structure. The U-Bahn station followed in 1962 with the opening of the line to Wandsbek.
The U-Bahn platforms have been tiled in various shades of blue since 2009, echoing the red pattern at Wartenau station. The station code used by Hamburger Hochbahn is "WR". On weekday nights, night bus 608 replaces the U1 here.
Located at Wandsbeker Chaussee 288, the station provides ticket machines and real-time departure displays for all lines. Passengers with mobility issues will find elevators and accessible entrances available at both levels.
The S-Bahn platform's 1980s extension for long trains, built under the Pappelallee bridge, has long been closed off by a grille, and there is no link to the bridge. Requests for a second platform entrance were rejected by Deutsche Bahn and the transport authority.
