This is one of the highlights in the Beimoorwald when you cross it with a gravel bike... I love this narrow path and the play of light and shadow.

I came here because of the book Lost & Dark Places Hamburg (Manfred Ertel). Of course, after more than 100 years, there is not much left of the old subway station. But with a bit of imagination you can recreate the platform. I really liked the fact that you can walk along the old railway embankment, which can still be traced to Großhansdorf station. From the missing bridge over Mielerstede street, however, it can only be walked parallel to it on Hasselkamp street and no longer directly. Among other things, the Beimoor train station was intended to connect a planned "3rd Hamburg mental asylum", as it was called in official German at the time. In addition, an armaments factory was to be built in the Beimoorwald with a housing estate for workers. Construction work began in 1915. Except for the electrification, the station was finished when everything changed after the First World War. The Versailles Treaty prohibited the losers from any armament production, the arms factory was not allowed to be built. And a workers' settlement for the production facility was thus obsolete. The dismantling of the ghost station began as early as 1920. (Source: Dark & Lost Places Hamburg, Manfred Ertel)
