in the area of "lübecker bahnhof" in hamburg, in the early 20th century, there were three stations ("berliner bahnhof", "hannöverscher bahnhof" and the "bahnhof klosterthor"), none of which had a direct connection to the lbe line. on 6 december 1906, they were replaced by the new hamburg hauptbahnhof (central station), when the lbe also extended its line to the station and closed its former station. the lbe also created a new station east of the hauptbahnhof at berliner tor.
