Berliner Tor is a railway station in Hamburg, Germany, served by the underground railway and the trains of the Hamburg S-Bahn (suburban railway). The station is located in the quarter St. Georg in the Hamburg-Mitte borough.

The railway station is listed by the German railway company, because the city trains call this station, and the S-Bahn part of it is managed by the DB Station&Service plc.^[1]

History

Berliner Tor S-Bahn station opened in 1906.

The original Berliner Tor U-Bahn station was designed by the architect, Erich Elingius, and built between 1908 and 1910, opening on 1 March 1912. It had a brick wall on the North, and some glass walls on the South.

During the Battle of Hamburg in 1943, the damage to the station was so great that the U-Bahn was no longer able to serve the line. On 19 January 1948, the station re-opened as a terminus for trains to Barmbek via Schlump, and from 1 July 1949, trains continued again to Mundsburg.

From 1962 to 1964, a new station complex was built to the North of the old one, and it opened on 10 May 1964, after which the old building was demolished.^[2] Between 1964 and 1966, the station was expanded from two platforms to four. From 2 January 1967, the U3 served the station, and between September 1968 and June 1973, the U21.^[3]
