Sternbrücke

The steel bridge spans 75 meters and features two bridge elements, each carrying two railway tracks at a width of 17 meters.

Built in 1893 for the Hamburg-Altona City and Suburban Railway, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1925 to accommodate increased rail traffic.

The bridge stands at a seven-way intersection, where numerous streets converge, creating a central meeting point in the urban landscape.

The structure handles approximately 900 trains daily, including regional, long-distance, and S-Bahn services across its four tracks.

The bridge derives its name from the star-shaped convergence of traffic routes rather than from its structural design.
