The railway station is one of five long-distance train stations in Hamburg. The other stations are Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, Hamburg-Altona, Hamburg-Harburg and Hamburg-Bergedorf. Despite its size and importance, the station is classified as a railway stop (Haltepunkt) because it does not have any switches, a requirement for a station (Bahnhof) according to the regulations.[4]

History edit

The name Dammtor originates from an old city gate located here until the end of the 19th century. The present railway station was opened on 7 July 1903. A previous station, built in 1866, was located around 100 metres (330 ft) away.

Location edit

Hamburg Dammtor is close to the Wallring and the center of Hamburg, located in the quarter Rotherbaum of the Eimsbüttel borough. Nearby are also the University of Hamburg and the Congress Center Hamburg. As a result, the railway station signs have the addition Messe- und Kongressbahnhof (trade fair and congress station).
