Anyone who is on the subway line 1 in Hamburg knows the "Großhansdorf" display on the trains. But the place just behind the eastern border with Schleswig-Holstein was not originally intended to be the terminus of the U 1. At the beginning of the 20th century there are plans to build another station called Beimoor on the so-called Walddörfer Line. And it is also being built - but never put into operation. Today only the platform slab on the embankment and the bricked-up access tunnel are left of this terminus.
Still an impressive building today. The first time I passed it, I couldn't help but stop to look at it. I didn't know what it meant at the time and at first thought it was an old railway bridge ... but there was no counterpart on the other side of the street. It was only later that I learned the correct meaning.

Actually, before the First World War planned the route of the U1 to Großhansdorf still two stations to lead. Up to a house planned for the mentally handicapped in the forest. This station was already finished. With platform stairs and station house. There were even the rails and there are probably a few trains drove up to here. Then came the First World War and all further planning discarded. What has become of the rails one can imagine. Now the field mice live in the underpasses in winter. If you go the extra mile you can still see the platform upstairs.

Großhansdorf is served by bus lines and the subway of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV), the U1 line (blue) has its terminus in Großhansdorf. There are a total of three stations in the municipality: Schmalenbeck, Kiekut and Großhansdorf. The journey from Großhansdorf to Hamburg Central Station takes 43 minutes. A fourth stop, Beimoor, was under construction during the First World War and shortly afterwards and had already been largely completed. The only thing missing from the double-track line and the sidings was the power rail when the project was abandoned immediately after the First World War, as was the planning of an armaments factory in the Beimoorwald.

Before the Second World War, the Hitler Youth practiced blasting, so that there is almost nothing left of the station building and nothing at all of the platform roof. Bats now nest in the access tunnel, which has been partially buried and provided with a wall (with a door and an entrance hole) by the municipal administration. The slightly weathered platform for the four-car trains planned for the Walddörferbahn at that time is still fully preserved. Before the line was inaugurated in November 1921, the second track from Großhansdorf to the hall of the Volksdorf train station had also been dismantled; only in Schmalenbeck was there a passing point with the only two switches on the whole route. It was only later that the Volksdorf - Buchenkamp section on the Hamburg state territory received its second track again, as did the Großhansdorf station with track 2 and its two sidings. After the Second World War, the current status was achieved with the construction of the passing point in Ahrensburg West station; the 20-minute cycle (morning and evening even 2½ hours 10-minute cycle) made the construction necessary.
