Die Hamburger Hafenbahn - In 150 Jahren von der Quaibahn zum modernen Logistik-Partner

The Hamburg port railway is 150 years old. To mark the occasion, DGEG Medien is publishing a large chronicle in which the port railway's history is described in words and pictures on 280 pages - from the beginnings to the present day. It is a success story. Beginning in 1866 as a small quay railway in what is now HafenCity, 150 years later the port railway covers around 300 kilometers of track.

Hamburg is considered the largest railway port in Europe, with around 200 trains with 5000 wagons entering or leaving the ultra-modern network every day. Between yesterday and today lie technical pioneering feats and impressive construction achievements, but also years of deprivation and destruction - and the constant, successful effort to meet the constantly changing requirements.

Hamburg unter Dampf - Die Bundesbahn in der Hansestadt

In the 1960s, steam locomotives were still omnipresent on the routes in and around Hamburg. This illustrated book is a small monument to the machines and their crews: from the heavy express train locomotive of the 01.10 series to the "modern" shunting locomotive of the BR 82 and the "old Prussians" that were indispensable in Hamburg for a long time.

Hamburgs Tore zur Welt - Die Fernbahnhöfe der Hansestadt - gestern und heute

Hamburg - the gateway to the world. This well-known phrase naturally refers to the port. For the citizens of the Hanseatic city, however, the gateways to the world are or were the long-distance train stations. A long journey begins far more often on the platform than on the quay (and nowadays on the nearest motorway or at the airport).

The main station has been the centre of Hamburg's long-distance rail passenger transport for over 100 years; numerous long-distance trains also stop at the Dammtor, Harburg and Altona stations.
In addition, there were several other stations that were important for long-distance transport: from the old stations such as Berliner, Lübecker or Venloer Bahnhof to district stations such as Bergedorf and exotic ones such as the Amerikabahnhof in Cuxhaven, which belonged to Hamburg until 1937.
