History
The construction of the Kellinghusenstraße station was initiated between 1909 and 1910 by Raabe & Wöhlecke in the style of Historicism and adorned with stone reliefs by Johann Michael Bossard. In 1912, train operations began on what was then the ring line (now U3), and in 1914, traffic was added on the branch line towards Ohlsdorf (now U1). In 1931, the so-called “KellJung Line” from Kellinghusenstraße to Jungfernstieg was opened. Trains coming from Ohlsdorf now continue directly into the city center on this route. To facilitate transfers between the two lines, an additional bridge was already erected in 1929 by Walther Puritz.
In the years 2009 to 2010, the platform roofs were demolished due to dilapidation and newly constructed, extended by 25 meters. The bridge between the platforms was largely rebuilt in 2013/2014 and visually resembles the original.
