The station will be rebuilt and renamed Hamburg Altona, replacing the current Hamburg Altona station, which will be withdrawn from service after completion of the works, allowing terminating trains to proceed to the stabling facilities in Langenfelde without turning around, as well as services travelling onward to Kiel to serve the station without turning around.
