Langenhorn Nord (Langenhorn North) is a station on the Hamburg U-Bahn line U1. It was opened in July 1921[1] and is located in Hamburg, Germany, in the quarter of Langenhorn. Langenhorn is part of the borough of Hamburg-Nord.

History[]

The station was opened in July 1921, after the was in preliminary operation with steam trains since 5 January 1918. However, a preliminary platform at Langenhorn Nord station was opened only on 1 September 1919. The steam trains then used the track of the freight railway from Ohlsdorf to Ochsenzoll, which was located east of the U-Bahn tracks. It was used until 1991 and removed in 2008.[1]

There was little traffic at the beginning, but it increased during the 1920s, after nearby Fritz-Schumacher-Siedlung (Fritz Schumacher settlement) had been built. However, major apartment buildings in the area were constructed in the 1950s and 60s. In 1940 the platform was extended to facilitate the stop of longer trains.[1]

In 2013, the platform was fully renovated and elevated at the same time to allow handicapped persons a better access to the trains. The addition of a lift is projected.[1]

Station layout[]

Langenhorn Nord is an elevated station with an island platform and two tracks. The station is not accessible for handicapped persons, as there is no lift.
