'''Sternschanze''' is a [[rapid transit]] station for the trains of [[Hamburg S-Bahn]] lines S2 and S5 and [[Hamburg U-Bahn]] line [[U3 (Hamburg U-Bahn)|U3]].<ref name="HVV plan">{{Citation |author=Staff |publisher=[[Hamburger Verkehrsverbund]] (HVV) |url=http://www.hvv.de/pdf/fahrplaene/usar/hvv_usar_regio.pdf |title=Rapid Transit/Regional Rail (Network plan, pdf) |access-date=2009-01-24 |date=2008-12-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090117074514/http://www.hvv.de/pdf/fahrplaene/usar/hvv_usar_regio.pdf |archive-date=2009-01-17 }}</ref> The [[train station|railway station]]<ref name="db list">{{Citation |url=http://www.db.de/site/shared/de/dateianhaenge/infomaterial/sonstige/bahnhofskategorieliste__2008.pdf |title=Liste Bahnhofskategorie 2008 (pdf) |author=Staff |publisher=[[DB Station&Service]] AG |access-date=2008-08-08 |language=de }}{{Dead link|date=June 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref> is located in the quarter [[Sternschanze]] in the [[Hamburg]] borough of [[Altona, Hamburg|Altona]], [[Germany]]. North of the railway station is a bus stop for the terminating HHA bus route 181.

== History ==
The first Sternschanze station opened on {{dts|format=dmy|1866|7|16}}, located a little east of the current station. That station was at-grade, with a number of level crossings at nearby streets. On {{dts|format=dmy|1903|5|15}} a new, elevated station was built, including a massive station hall. The U-Bahn station followed on {{dts|format=dmy|1912|5|25}}. During the 1970s, the S-Bahn's station hall was dismantled.

== Station layout ==
Sternschanze is a small cul-de-sac between the station to the south and Sternschanzenpark to the north. The western main entrance for the S-Bahn platform is at the intersection of Sternschanze and Schanzenstraße. A common entrance for U-Bahn and S-Bahn is located at the S-Bahn's eastern entrance, some {{convert|150|m}} further down Sternschanze.

The [[island platform]] and tracks for the S-Bahn are elevated on a rail dam, along with tracks for regional and long-distance trains that run past the station south of it. The S-Bahn platform is handicap-accessible through a lift. The station is unstaffed, but there are emergency and information telephones, [[ticket machine]]s , and a shop.<ref name="db facility">{{Citation |url=http://www.db.de/site/bahn/de/reisen/service/bfssuche__deutschland/bahnhofssuche/bahnhofsdaten__filter,variant=details,recordId=2516.html?c252936=Sternschanze |title=DB-Konzern - Sternschanze |author=Staff |publisher=[[Deutsche Bahn]] AG |access-date=2008-01-24 |language=de}}</ref>

The underground platform of the U3 is situated at the east side of the railway station and has only one entrance at the platform's southern end. The underground station is not fully accessible for the disabled. At this location, a pedestrian tunnel underneath the rail dam provides access to [[Hamburg Messe]] and [[Congress Center Hamburg]] (CCH). Hence, the station is also known by the name '''Sternschanze (Messe)'''.
