Elevation at S-Bahn station Sternschanze out of operation: tips for travelers!

In Hamburg, a technical defect causes excitement: the elevator at the Sternschanze S-Bahn station is out of service. This affects the period from June 13th to 16th, 2025. Travelers who rely on the elevator are recommended to drive to the Schlump subway station and switch to bus line 181. The Schlump station is easy to reach, for example via the U2 from the Berlin Tor, Gänsemarkt or Niendorf North stops and via the U3 of Barmbek, South or Kellinghusenstrasse Central Station. In addition, passengers can use the bus line 15 that runs from Altona or Rathausmarkt to circle what is there.

This current message was updated on June 13, 2025 at 4:39 p.m. and reminds us that the availability of elevators in the train stations is particularly important for people restricted mobility. In order for Deutsche Bahn to meet your responsibility here, technical defects must be fixed quickly.

punctuality in view

The punctuality of Deutsche Bahn was another hot topic in 2023. Around 64 % of long -distance trains arrived on time, which represents a slight decline compared to 2022 when 65.2 % of the trains reached their destination in good time. One reason for unpunctuality includes construction sites, renovations and technical disorders of vehicles, leading and safety technology. The DB Regio trains, on the other hand, cut off in the first quarter of 2023 with a pleasant punctuality of 92 to 93 %. Solving problems in the route network remains a constant challenge for the train.

In order to deal with the high demands in rail transport, Deutsche Bahn 2023 launched the “SB² - Building in time” program. The aim of this program is to better reconcile driving and building. For this purpose, a tied production standard for maintenance and investment measures is introduced. From July 2024, the maintenance work is to be carried out in a four-week clock in so-called “containers” in order to optimize the affected routes.

accessibility in the focus

Especially in the context of accessibility, Deutsche Bahn has thought a lot. It is based on legal requirements, in particular the accessibility law (BFSG). The needs of travelers with disabilities are taken into account when developing new digital products and services. In June 2023, an internal guideline on digital accessibility was published, and numerous DB applications are now completely or almost completely digital barrier-free. In addition to these technical measures, the DB Special offers offers for people with severe disabilities, such as nationwide access to local transport trains without an additional ticket.

There are also mobility packages for people with mobility restrictions that include barrier -free travel destinations in Germany and Austria. These packages have been developed in cooperation with the working group "Light trips: barrier -free holiday destinations in Germany" and the "Barrier -Free Austria" project.

The interaction of technical service, punctuality and accessibility remains a major challenge for Deutsche Bahn. It is important that travelers are well informed and get to their destination safely. The upcoming measures can help to improve the situation sustainably.
