A new Urban Center for Hamburg West - The New hamburg-Altona Railway Station
Relocating Altona Station 1.8 km further north to Diebsteich S-Bahn station (rapid urban transit train service) is an opportunity for significantly easing the high footfall at Hamburg’s main train station. The planned inauguration of the station in 2027 will mark the starting point for the second construction phase of the new “Mitte Altona” district with 1,900 new homes on the site of the former train station.
For the quarter surrounding the Hamburg-Altona regional and long-distance station the new site offers fresh potential for establishing an office center in part of the city that was formerly dominated by industry.
The report highlights various factors that have a significant influence on neighbourhood development:
- Mobility & accessibility
- Sustainability & ESG
- Usage mix & space potential
- Stakeholder mobilization
