Hasselbrook station, S-Bahn station in Eilbek, Germany.
Hasselbrook is a long-distance and S-Bahn railway station in Wandsbek with a historicist building that serves four platform tracks. The station sits at the intersection of Hammer Steindamm street and connects regional and S-Bahn services on separate levels.
The station opened in 1907 as part of the Hamburg-Altonaer railway connection and served as an important link for commuters from the start. The building was constructed between 1905 and 1907 according to modern railway architecture standards of the era.
The entrance building displays features of the Hanover school of architecture with castle-inspired design elements that set it apart from typical railway station structures. Visitors notice these historical design choices immediately when entering the station.
The station offers partial wheelchair access through a renovated bridge entrance. Visitors should note that regional and S-Bahn trains depart from different levels, which requires clear orientation before boarding.
The station was equipped with three different electrical systems throughout its history, switching from alternating current to direct current and back again. These transitions reflect the technical changes that shaped railway infrastructure in the 20th century.
