Hamburg, October 5, 2026 – Preparations have commenced today for the construction of the new Fuhlsbüttler Straße subway station on Hamburg’s U3 line, according to Hochbahn. The official construction work is slated to begin early next year.
Connecting 10,000 Residents to the U-Bahn Network
The new U3 station, located between the Barmbek and Habichtstraße stops, is expected to connect approximately 10,000 people to the U-Bahn network. Of these, around 2,600 residents will gain rapid transit access for the first time.
Environmental Impact and Greening Initiatives
Approximately 72 trees in the railway embankment area will be felled for the construction. However, Hochbahn plans to plant 62 new trees, along with additional shrubs and perennials, upon completion. The station’s roofs and facade will also be greened, and a photovoltaic system will be installed, contributing to sustainable infrastructure.
Construction Timeline and Potential Disruptions
The new station is projected to be completed by the summer of 2029. During the construction period, there will be temporary disruptions to the U3 line. More detailed information regarding these interruptions will be provided once the detailed planning is finalized, according to Hochbahn.
Project Background and Approval
The construction of the new U3 Fuhlsbüttler Straße station in the Hamburg district of Barmbek-Nord received approval earlier this year. The project aims to enhance public transportation access for a significant portion of the city’s population.
