Rebuilt several times since it was first erected in 1844, Altona station originally stood on the site now occupied by the town hall. In 1898 the station was relocated to its present site, with the bricks from the building used for the construction of the town hall. The Victorian station lasted some 80 years, but was pulled down and replaced by a more modern building in the late 1970s. The station contains numerous shops (including the Mercado shopping centre) and is also connected to the S-Bahn network. This is Hamburg's second busiest station (after Hauptbahnhof) and serves both local and international routes, particularly those heading westwards.
