Modelled after the Friedrichstrasse and Alexanderplatz train stations in Berlin, the Dammtor train station, also simply called the Dammtor, was designed as an elevated railway. Broad Jugendstil, rustic stone facades and an ornate steel and glass roof are the impressive features of this carefully-restored train station. The entrance to the station is at ground level, the platforms are located above. In the vicinity of the building lies the old botanical garden. The Dammtor is Hamburg´s third train station in the city, the main station and the train station in Altona being the other two.
