Tip

U1 and U3 meet here: when you change, watch for the terminus shown on the train destination displays — in Hamburg the direction is not given as «northbound» but always as the relevant final stop. And: changing is included in your ticket, you do not need a second one in the Hamburg AB fare zone.

Frequently asked questions about Kellinghusenstraße

As everywhere on the network, trains at Kellinghusenstraße run on ordinary days roughly from 04:00 to 01:00. On the nights from Friday to Saturday, from Saturday to Sunday and before public holidays the U-Bahn runs around the clock (night U-Bahn), then about every 20 Min. The exact first and last departures per direction are listed under opening hours.

Kellinghusenstraße is an interchange station on the Hamburg U-Bahn: lines U1 and U3 call here. You change within the station and it is included in your ticket — across the whole Hamburg AB fare zone you never need a second ticket to switch line. You can work out any connection with the route planner.

You barely need a printed timetable in Hamburg: at peak times trains run about every 3–5 Min., around ca. 5 Min. during the day, roughly every 10 Min. in the evening and every 20 Min. on the round-the-clock nights. So you simply walk down to the platform — the next train is coming soon.

The entire U-Bahn network lies in the Hamburg AB fare zone. A single ticket AB costs 3,80 € (about 7% less in the hvv app, 3,55 €); for short hops there is the short-trip ticket at 2,10 €, and for a whole day the day ticket at 8,20 €. Regular riders in practice use the Deutschland-Ticket (63,00 €/month). There is also the free, rechargeable hvv Prepaid Card for buying tickets — but it is a stored-value purse and not a tap-and-go card for checking in and out. Buy your ticket before you board: Hamburg has no fare gates but does check on board — riding without a valid ticket means a 60,00 € penalty fare. Every option is on the tickets & prices page.

Bicycles ride on the Hamburg U-Bahn free of charge — but not on weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. (the rush hour). Outside those blocked periods, and all day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, they travel free and without an extra ticket. Folding bikes count as luggage when folded and can be carried at any time. Space per train is limited — use the multipurpose areas and let passengers get on and off first.
