History

On 01931-03-25 25 March 1931, the underground railway line Kellinghusenstr–Jungfernstieg — now part of the U1 — was opened. In 1958, the underground platforms between the Circle Line's Rathaus station (now U3) and Jungfernstieg station were connected. In 1973, the diameter line U2 was completed between Gänsemarkt and Hauptbahnhof Nord, and on 01975-06-01 1 June 1975, the Hamburg S-Bahn opened the first section of their so called "City-S-Bahn" between Hauptbahnhof and Landungsbrücken.

Layout

It is an underground station with two island platforms and two side platforms on three different levels. The rapid transit trains of the Hamburg S-Bahn system serve one island platform, the other island platform is served by the Hamburg U-Bahn line U1, and the line U2 serves the two side platforms. The U3 Rathaus underground station is connected with a pedestrian underpass.[2] Toilets and shops are located at the station, but the station is not accessible for handicapped persons.[3]

Services

No personnel is attending the station, but there are ticket machines, CCTV, and SOS / information telephones.[3]

Trains
