Ahrensburg West is a station on the Großhansdorf branch of Hamburg U-Bahn line U1, located in the southwestern part of the town of Ahrensburg in Schleswig-Holstein.

History

The station was built based on schematics by Eugen Göbel, and was opened on November 5, 1921 under the name "Ahrensburg" with only one track. The second track at the station was added in 1957.

When the next stop on the line, "Hopfenbach," was renamed to Ahrensburg Ost in 1952, "Ahrensburg" station was renamed to Ahrensburg West to avoid confusion between the two stations.

Services

Ahrensburg West is served by Hamburg U-Bahn line U1.
