U-Bahn

Hamburg began to build its underground in 1906. The first line was opened in 1912. Today the Hamburg underground covers a distance of about 98 kilometres in and around the city. The trains which run underground as well as overground are the most important means of transportation of the “Hamburger Verkehrsverbund”, the Hamburg transport system. The iron constructions including ornaments, stone reliefs and glass panelling of some of the stations give vivid evidence of the era of enthusiasm for industrialisation. The renovated Mundsburg station is a wonderful example of a beautiful art nouveau building.
