Hamburg Berliner Tor, S-Bahn station. A DT series 472 S-1 train is departing for Poppenbüttel. This is a branching station for the S-Bahn lines S-1 and S-11 where the S-21 branches off to Aumühle.

There is also an U-Bahn station where the U-2 and U-3 intersect by cross-platform transfer, since Berliner Tor's U-Bahn platform has two central platforms on the same level. That is, a passenger on a U-2 heading to Wandsbek-Gartenstadt wanting to transfer to a U-3 train to Mummelmansberg would exit the train at Berliner Tor and go to the other side of the same platform without having to climb stairs or take the elevator/escalator. The same principle would apply to trains for Barmbek and Niendorf Nord.

There is another U-2 and U-3 transfer, at Schlump, in the western part of Hamburg.
