History edit

The station was built in 1914 based on schematics by Eugen Göbel, and opened in 1921, with only one track, as the second track was taken apart in order to obtain material to build a third rail for the electrification of the line. The second track was rebuilt in 1935.

Services edit

Buchenkamp is served by Hamburg U-Bahn line U1.
