Location

Location

The station is located to the north of City Nord, one of Hamburg's office districts, characterized by large office complexes and extensive green spaces. It lies adjacent to Sengelmannstraße, a major road running through the north of Hamburg that connects City Nord with Hamburg Airport.

History

Sengelmannstraße station was opened on 26 September 1975 as an additional station between Alsterdorf and Ohlsdorf on the pre-existing line connecting Ohlsdorf and Kellinghusenstraße, which had opened in 1914 and had later become part of line U1.

The station was primarily constructed to provide access to City Nord, an office district under construction at the time. Due to original plans including the addition of another line between the Hamburg districts of Lurup and Winterhude, two island platforms with two tracks each were built. These expansion plans were ultimately abandoned in 1974 due to financial constraints and the loss of SPD's absolute majority in the 1974 state elections.

As part of construction works for the new U5 line, the station is undergoing extensive refurbishment. Between February 2023 and February 2025, the previously unused northern platform was reactivated for passenger service. Since then, all U1 trains have been using the northern platform, while the southern platform is being modernized in preparation for the future U5 line.
