The new “Elbbrücken” quarter forms the eastern end of HafenCity, where the U4 subway line was extended to, in order to connect the area to the city centre.
A special feature of the station is that the underground line comes out of the ground and begins to run parallel to the Elbe bridges at a higher level. The stations design picks up on the steel structures of the bridges. The tubular architecture consist of steel frames, which arch up to 16m in height and are covered with 1200 glass panes.
