Farmsen (Hamburg U-Bahn Station)
Farmsen is a rapid transit station located in the Hamburg quarter of Farmsen-Berne, Germany. The station was opened in 1918 and is served by Hamburg U-Bahn line U1. History The station was constructed from 1912 to 1914 and opened on 12 September 1918 on the Walddörfer railway line. The village of Farmsen had been an exclave of Hamburg territory, so a stop was planned here. The station was served by steam trains until 20 September 1919 and re-opened after electrification of one track on 6 September 1920 which allowed a train stop every two hours. But only after a second electrified track had been opened on 13 May 1921, more frequent services could be offered. On 20 May 1923 the second track was completed to Volksdorf. From 1962 to 1964 a 1,000m long railway repair workshop (''Betriebswerkstatt'') was built in Farmsen which was needed for the then completed U1 line. At the same time a second platform with two tracks was constructed at Farmsen station along with a new entrance fr ...

Trabrennbahn (Hamburg U-Bahn Station)
Trabrennbahn (''Trotting Course'') is a rapid transit station located in the Hamburg quarter of Farmsen-Berne, Germany. The station was opened in 1924 and is served by Hamburg U-Bahn line U1. History The station was constructed from 1912 to 1914, but opened only on 30 March 1924 as a request stop on the Walddörfer railway line, as a horse race took place on the nearby race track of Trabrennbahn Farmsen. Population was sparse in the vicinity, so the stop was not needed during the first years except for horse riding events. For the latter use, in 1931, a train reversing facility with four siding tracks was built. Since 1 October 1933 the station was serviced constantly. The reversing facility was later reduced to two tracks and dismantled in 1971, as there were less horse races. The course of Trabrennbahn Farmsen was closed in the 1980s. The station was fully renovated in 2001, and a lift was added then. There were plans to rename it to ''Traberweg'' but the name was kept becaus ...

History Wandsbek was once part of the county ''Stormarn''. Its villages were first mentioned in the middle of the 13th century. The name ''Wandsbek'', ''Wandsbeck'' or (older) ''Wantesbeke'' derives from old Low Saxon ("Low German") for "border river" and the river Wandse was a natural territorial border. An old Danish phrase for stating that something is a fraud / unreliable is to claim that ''"det gælder ad Wandsbek Vandsbæktil"'' (i.e. ''"this is valid in Wandsbeck."''). Wandsbek was one of the three locations in the Danish monarchy where the first lottery drew its numbers, and this expression dates from the early years of this lottery's life where a number of people tried to claim prizes in Copenhagen with tickets from Wandsbeck. Since each of the three towns drew its own set of numbers, a ticket from one tow ...
