Lively, individual and vibrant, just like the people that live here. That’s the reputation that Barmbek has made for itself. Running through the middle of this district is “Fuhlsbüttler Straße”, affectionately known as “Fuhle”. It’s a major thoroughfare filled with restaurants, eateries and shops, where community and multiculturalism are alive and well.  

Here in the heart of Barmbek, residents can find just about everything they could possibly need – except their own underground station, that is. But that is about to change! 
 

In spring 2026, HOCHBAHN received the planning approval decision. This approves the construction of a further stop on the U3 line between the Habichtstraße and Barmbek stations. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2027, with the station due to open in spring 2029.

The faster and congestion-free route into the city centre 

The U3 Fuhlsbüttler Straße stop will connect around 10,000 more people to the city’s rapid transit network. In future, they will be able to travel to the city centre in a shorter space of time, without any hassle or traffic jams. If that’s not reason enough to leave your car at home, then nothing is.   

This is also good news for those living at the Barmbek S-Bahn/U-Bahn junction: if more passengers get on at the “Fuhle”, they’ll relieve crowds and congestion at the Barmbek station. 

The station’s main entrance, including the lifts, will be at the southern end of Fuhlsbüttler Straße, where there are numerous local amenities. A second entrance to the west will primarily connect the residential areas north of Genslerstraße and south of Hardorffsweg to our underground network.

A sustainable station with plenty of natural light

The station makes the most of natural light: an open platform concourse, glazed side walls and skylights create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Green roofs, rainwater harvesting and a solar panel system further enhance the station’s sustainability.
