History

After 1879, when Nothnagel & Co. promoted the idea to build a railway line to transport peat to Altona, the Altona Kaltenkirchen Railway Company was founded, today's Altona Kaltenkirchen Neumünster Railway Company and in 1883 works started for the Hamburg-Altona–Neumünster railway line. On 8 September 1884 passenger traffic was opened. However, between 1911 and 1912, when the line at grade was elevated onto a railway embankment in order to stop hindrances by level crossings, Langenfelde was given up as a stop. With AKN ceding the section of the Altona-Neumünster line between Altona and Eidelstedt to the Deutsche Bundesbahn the latter redeveloped the stations in this section into S-Bahn stations, and reopened Langenfelde station in 1962.

Station layout

The station is an elevated island platform with two tracks and one exit.[3] A lift was added recently.
