History
editAt the time the station was opened in 1918, Volksdorf was an exclave of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Back then, Volksdorf station was part of the Walddörferbahn. In February 1925 the station was electrified and integrated into the Hochbahn (U-Bahn) system.
Layout
editThe elevated station is located on the western side of Claus-Ferck-Straße; the station's main entrance is located at the junction of Claus-Ferck-Straße and Farmsenser Landstraße. The station hall above the entrance consists of one island platform, one side platform and three rail tracks. The concrete beam station hall was built in 1920.[4] Volksdorf station was renovated in 1957 and again between 1997 and 2001. Since 2001 the station is handicap-accessible.
