History
In November 1866, a Barmbek line was built for horsecars by the Hamburger Pferde-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (Hamburg horsecar railway company).[4] On 11 April 1895, the first new built electric tram line was opened from Barmbeker Zoll (Barmbek customs facilities) to Ohlsdorf Cemetery,[5] and on 6 December 1906, the Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vortbahn (City and suburban railway) — later abbreviated Hamburg S-Bahn — opened the double track line Ohlsdorf – Blankenese, including Barmbek station.[6] Planned as an electric railway with overhead lines, the trains were first steam powered, because of difficulties concerning the construction of the electrical installations and a delay delivering the engines.[7] In 1912, the Hamburger Hochbahn opened first part of the Hamburg U-Bahn circle line from Barmbek station via Mundsburg to central station.[8] Until 1947, Barmbek station was written Barmbeck. In end 1980s, constructing the bus station at the north side of Barmbek station gave the whole station the new westside entrance.[9]
