Economy

Traffic

1 Coming from the motorway junction Hamburg- Georgswerder by the district Harburg running north to south, the Federal Highway 7 and the motorway is the short Federal Highway 252 in the Wilhelmsburger Reichsstrasse over that part of the federal highways 4 and 75. This deal as Federal Motorway 253, the center of Harburg and run it then in a south-westerly direction to the junction Hamburg- Marmstorf on the A7. Immediately north of it branches off the Federal Highway 261 from the A7 from. The national road 73 passes through the district in west-east direction and ends at the junction Hamburg- Harburg- center of the A253.

At Hamburg -Harburg station, the railway lines between Hamburg, Hanover and Hamburg -Bremen meet with the routes to Cuxhaven ( Lower Elbe Railway ) and from Hamburg. A stretch of the Hamburg S -Bahn, on the, on lines S3 and S31 leads from the city center of Hamburg on William Castle and the center of Harburg and on about Neugraben in the west of the district up to Buxtehude and Stade. The S-Bahn opened in 1983 to Harburg Rathaus, 1984 to Neugraben and 2007 to Stade.

Urban transport in Harburg was originally worn by tram lines of the Hamburg High Bahn AG. In the 20s a private and later kommunalisierter bus operation, but who could not keep was built. Against the concession Harburg to entertain not have its own transport company, the elevated railway expanded its tram network, which is currently its greatest extent had the following appearance:

Rönneburg ( Radickestr. ) - Wilstorfer road - Mühlenstr. (now Schloßmühlendamm ) - Hamburg
Station - home field
Station - Bostelbek
Station - Appelbüttel

In addition, the elevated railway entertained in the 30's the bus 36 ( Eißendorf ) and 39 ( Marmstorf - downtown - Fleestedt ).

Even during the war matured thoughts to switch the traffic to the then fashionable trolley. In 1949 the trolleybus line Eißendorf - downtown - Fleestedt was set up on the wrong even double decker buses. At this time the entire HHA traffic in Harburg was electrically powered, supplemented by private diesel buses to Marmstorf ( Eggers ), Altwiedenthal - Ehestorf ( Meyer) and a number of railway coaches ( Forest Peace, New Wulmstorf ). But soon there was a shift away from the electrical transport: The trolleybuses disappeared as early as 1958, the trams until 1971.

1967, the common fare of the HVV was introduced, so that one could use the local trains of the DB between the main station, Harburg, Neugraben and mesh, and the buses of the elevated train with only one ticket. This also led to traffic diversion from the tram on the now as " S3" designated rail link, the wrong at irregular intervals with locomotive-hauled trains and silver pieces. By 1976, the DB maintained a Bahnbus quick line Harburg / Rathaus- Hamburg / ZOB.

The bus network adapted itself to the development of settlements and always received further ramifications in the development areas. There is today, as far as the core area Harburg, six diameter lines (14, 141, 241, 142, 143, 443 ) and four radial lines (144, 145, 245, 249), with the exception of the line 249 during the day, at least every 20 minutes be operated. By overlays partly clock sequences result of 5 minutes. The diameter lines connect either the Eißendorfer with the Winsener or Stader with the hunter road. The attempt to establish a tangential connection ( Bostelbek - Lübbersweg - Marmstorf - Sinstorf, 444 ) failed in 1995. Added to lines of CCG Stade, the more rural areas such as Neuland (149, 349 ), Altwiedenthal (340) Moor Castle (157 ) or Neuenfelde ( 257) link. In the Southern Elbe to many bus lines of the HHA, mostly via the central Neugraben. Individual HHA lines have their endpoint in Lower Saxony area.

The intercity bus transport is, however, shrunk tight connections in recent decades to a few. The CCG Hittfeld operates six overland lines after Hittfeld (148) Hittfeld - Jesteburg Hanstedt ( 4148 ), Vahrendorf nominal village ( 4244 ), Tötensen nominal Village Buchholz ( also 4244 ), Over- Winsen ( 149) and in the Hamburg districts Finkenwerder (146) and Moor castle. From Neugraben CCG run buses to Coquille and York. The CCG took over these lines in the 80 years of the post. Gone are the long-distance railway bus lines to Verden, Soltau and Munster as well as private lines after Coquille and Ohlendorf - Winsen. Until the opening of the S -Bahn most intercity buses ended up on a bus station next to the former swimming pool at Harburg Town Hall Square.

By Harburg also runs the cycle route Hamburg- Bremen and the cycle path Flensburg- casting.

The S -Bahn station Harburg- Rathaus is also the city's largest nuclear bunker.

During the construction of the metro line 4 by the Hamburg elevated railway, an extension on William Castle was discussed to Harburg.
