Structure and history
Alsterdorf has a central platform suitable for 120-meter-long trains on the embankment. The only access is at the northeast end and has fixed stairs, an escalator, and an elevator between the north end of the platform and the street level between the railway bridges.
The stop was opened as early as 1914 as part of the former elevated railway branch line Ohlsdorf - Kellinghusenstraße, which later became part of today's U1. The access building was extensively modernized at the end of the 1990s and 2024. The originally building was rebuilt as part of the modernization measures.
