[3] The railway station is located in Hammerbrook, Hamburg-Mitte, Hamburg, Germany.

The station was opened on 23 September 1983 to connect Harburg and other districts South of the Elbe River − home of more than half a million people − with Hamburg's inner city.

[4] Since then, and also thanks to the station, Hammerbrook developed into a commercial district: the "City Süd".

The elevated station consists of an island platform with 2 side tracks.

No personnel are attending the station, but there are emergency and information telephones, and ticket machines.
