History

The station was built since 1959 and opened in May 1960. Originally it was not planned during the construction of the Langenhorn railway, as the settlement in the area did not begin before the 1950s. In 2013 the station was fully renovated, a lift was added, and a part of the platform was elevated for easier access of handicapped persons to the trains.

Station layout

Kiwittsmoor is an elevated station with an island platform and two tracks. The station is fully accessible for handicapped persons, as there is a lift. There is a Park and Ride facility with 303 parking slots, which is temporarily closed, because a container residence for 590 migrants was built on it.

Service

Kiwittsmoor is served by Hamburg U-Bahn line U1; departures are every 5 minutes, every 10 minutes in non-busy periods.
