Langenhorn Markt Station
History
The station was opened in July 1921 as Langenhorn Mitte (Langenhorn Centre), after the Langenhorn railway was in preliminary operation with steam trains since 5 January 1918. 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. In 1966 a new shopping mall was built which extended the marketplace of Langenhorn. Therefore, the station was renamed on 2 June 1969 into Langenhorn Markt. At the beginning of the 1970s the street of Krohnstieg was also extended, and a new bridge for it was constructed, leading across the station and the U-Bahn tracks. In 1973 also a new Park and ride facility was built, which was opened in August 1975 along with the new station entrance from the north, and the station was fully renovated at the same time. Only the old entrance building remained from the old station.
Station layout
The station is located in a terrain cutting with an island platform and two tracks. The station is fully accessible for handicapped persons, as there is a lift.
