Station from 1903
As part of the reorganization of the Hamburg railway facilities in the early 20th century, a new station was built on a raised embankment and opened on 15 May 1903. He had two tracks for the then- Hamburg- Altona City and Suburban Railway and the mainline with each intervening platforms, since after the pattern of the Berlin metropolitan railway stations Dammtorbahnhof, star jump and Holsten Street were originally breakpoints of long distance traffic. An arched steel beams hall with glass inserts similar to the train station Dammtor spanned all four tracks. The tracks of the now higher down cross station at the west end Schanzenstraße. There is also the main entrance.
The preliminary draft of the reception hall of the station Sternschanze to the hill street comes from Oberbaurat Caesar, the Regierungsbaurat Schwartz and the railway building inspector Ernst Moeller at the Royal Railway Directorate Altona. Caesar and Schwartz had also designed the Dammtorbahnhof. The construction costs for the star -Hills train station so amounted to 237,000 marks for the reception building, 248,000 Mark for platforms and concourse, 75,000 mark for the underpass Schanzenstraße, in total 560,000 Mark ( in today's prices are about 3,509,542 euros ).
State since the 1970s

Sternschanze as tariff border
Since 1967, no train of long distance traffic has more a traffic stop in the Sternschanzen station, yet it was the beginning and end of the tariff distances between Hamburg and other German stations over long distances. These were calculated from and to Hamburg Star jump and authorized to drive both to and from all stations between Hamburg -Hauptbahnhof and Hamburg- Altona, including the City -S -Bahn, although their line ran over Jungfernstieg, jetties and Reeperbahn and the train station Sternschanze not touched.

The central platform is located north of the junction line in the ground and has only one exit at the south end to the located there road star ski jump and the Sternschanze Station. Here was from the beginning a transition opportunity for railways and urban and suburban railway ( S -Bahn today ). However, the stairs to the platform are pretty tight, angular and small in size, so that no escalator could be inserted. In an adjoining room there is a small shop selling baked goods, previously was here a snack.
