It is planned to replace Hamburg-Altona station for long distance and regional trains in 2027.[3]
Right along the tracks is the border of the quarter Altona-Nord and Bahrenfeld of the Altona borough in Hamburg, Germany.
The station is named after a pond Diebsteich in the neighbourhood which no longer exists.
