I came here because of the book Lost & Dark Places Hamburg (Manfred Ertel). Of course, after more than 100 years, there is not much left of the old subway station. But with a bit of imagination you can recreate the platform. I really liked the fact that you can walk along the old railway embankment, which can still be traced to Großhansdorf station. From the missing bridge over Mielerstede street, however, it can only be walked parallel to it on Hasselkamp street and no longer directly.
Among other things, the Beimoor train station was intended to connect a planned "3rd Hamburg mental asylum", as it was called in official German at the time. In addition, an armaments factory was to be built in the Beimoorwald with a housing estate for workers. Construction work began in 1915. Except for the electrification, the station was finished when everything changed after the First World War. The Versailles Treaty prohibited the losers from any armament production, the arms factory was not allowed to be built. And a workers' settlement for the production facility was thus obsolete. The dismantling of the ghost station began as early as 1920. (Source: Dark & Lost Places Hamburg, Manfred Ertel)

If you are traveling in Hamburg with the subway line 1, you know the display "Großhansdorf" 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 built - but never put into operation. Today, only the platform slab on the railway embankment and the walled-up access tunnel remain of this terminus.
Still an impressive building today. When I drove past it for the first time, I couldn't help but stop to look at it. I didn't know what it meant at the time and first thought it was an old railway bridge....but the counterpart on the other side of the street was missing. Only later did I learn the correct meaning.

This place is NOT a ghost station. Ghost stations are stations that still exist, and have tracks, but no trains stop there. Examples of this are the numerous abandoned ghost stations of the London Underground and the Friedrichsruh station near Aumühle in Germany. Beimoor was never opened, subway trains never stopped there, the station never saw a single passenger and apart from fragments of the platform everything was demolished. The term "ruined building" would describe this place much more appropriately.
By the way, during the Nazi era, the Hitler Youth are said to have held military exercises there and there are also said to have been explosions there.
