'''Hamburg-Altona''' (or simply '''Altona''') is a [[railway station]] in [[Hamburg]], Germany, situated to the west of the city's [[Hamburg Hauptbahnhof|main station]], in the [[Altona, Hamburg|district which bears its name]].

A main line [[terminal station]], most [[Intercity-Express]] (ICE) services linking Hamburg with southern Germany begin and terminate at Hamburg-Altona. It also has an underground station (named '''Altona''') which is served by the rapid transit trains of the [[Hamburg S-Bahn]].<ref name="HVV plan">{{Citation |author=Staff |publisher=[[Hamburger Verkehrsverbund]] |url=http://www.hvv.de/pdf/fahrplaene/usar/hvv_usar_regio.pdf |title=Rapid Transit/Regional Rail (Network plan, pdf) |access-date=24 January 2009 |date=14 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090117074514/http://www.hvv.de/pdf/fahrplaene/usar/hvv_usar_regio.pdf |archive-date=17 January 2009 }}</ref> The station is managed by [[DB Station&Service]].<ref name =categories/>

== History ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2024}}

The original Altona station was built by the [[Altona-Kiel Railway Company]] at the end of the [[Hamburg-Altona–Kiel railway|line from Kiel]], some 300 metres south of the current station. It opened in 1844, at which time Altona was an independent city within the [[Duchy of Holstein]] (the old station is currently used as the present-day Altona borough's [[town hall]]).

In 1866 the [[Hamburg-Altona link line|link line]] was opened, allowing trains to run through to Klosterthor station (near the main train station) and on to [[Berlin]] or [[Hanover]]. In 1867 the [[Altona-Blankenese railway]] was opened to the towns on the right bank of the river [[Elbe]] (this line is today used by S-Bahn lines S1 and S11).

In 1898 ''Altona Hauptbahnhof'' (Altona main station) was opened at the current location. It was badly damaged during [[World War II]] but subsequently rebuilt. The building was finally demolished in the late 1970s during the construction of the [[City-S-Bahn]] despite protests; it was feared that the tunnelling would cause the structure to collapse. It was replaced by the current two-storey, low-rise precast concrete structure upon its opening in 1979.

==Future==
In September 2009 the ''[[Hamburger Morgenpost]]'' and ''[[Die Welt]]'' revealed that [[Deutsche Bahn|Deutsche Bahn AG]] plans to close the long distance train station at Altona and to build a new station in the area of [[Diebsteich station]]. According to ''Die Welt'', the [[Government of Hamburg|city government]] had preliminary studies for the area to build flats and a park. Initially it was expected that the new station would open in 2016.<ref name="mopo2009">{{cite news |url=http://archiv.mopo.de/archiv/2009/20090903/hamburg/politik/wohnungsbau_statt_sackbahnhof.html |title=Wohnungsbau statt Sackbahnhof |trans-title=Flats building instead of terminal |publisher=[[Hamburger Morgenpost]] |language=de |author=Thomas Hirschbiegel, Jessica Kröll |date=3 September 2009 |access-date=9 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090910182429/http://archiv.mopo.de/archiv/2009/20090903/hamburg/politik/wohnungsbau_statt_sackbahnhof.html |archive-date=10 September 2009 }}</ref><ref name="welt2009">{{cite news |url=https://www.welt.de/die-welt/vermischtes/hamburg/article4630907/Die-Bahn-legt-sich-fest-Fernbahnhof-Altona-wird-bis-2016-verlegt.html |title=Deutsche Bahn legt sich fest: Fernbahnhof Altona wird bis 2016 verlegt |trans-title=German Rail predefined: Long distance station Altona transferred until 2016 |language=de |newspaper=[[Die Welt]] |date=26 September 2009 |access-date=9 October 2009 |author=Olaf Dittmann}}</ref> As a result of frequent protests{{cn|date=February 2025}}, that date has been delayed until 2027.<ref>{{cite web |title=FAQ |url=https://www.bahnprojekt-hamburg-altona.de/faq |website=Bahnprojekt Hamburg-Altona |access-date=4 February 2025 |language=de}}</ref>
