Nordhavn station is a commuter rail and rapid transit railway station in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1]
The station serves the eastern part of the district of Østerbro, as well as the harbour area of Nordhavn. The station is by the lines A, H, B, C, and E of the Copenhagen S-train network and line M4 of the Copenhagen Metro network.[4] The S-train station opened in 1934, and the metro station opened in 2020.[2]
History
[edit]Nordhavn station was opened on 15 May 1934 simultaneously with the opening of the S-train service on the Boulevard Line between Østerport station and Copenhagen Central Station also known as Røret (literally: the tube).[2]
In 2006 the station was rebuilt. The existing shop and DSB ticket office were merged into a new 7-Eleven shop that is located just inside the station entrance.
The metro station opened on 28 March 2020 with the opening of the M4-line of the Copenhagen Metro.[5]
Architecture
[edit]The functionalist station from 1934 was built to designs by the Danish architect Knud Tanggaard Seest who was the head architect of the Danish State Railways from 1922 to 1949.[3]
