The station serves the eastern part of the district of Østerbro, as well as the harbour area of Nordhavn. The station is by the lines A, H, B, C, and E of the Copenhagen S-train network and line M4 of the Copenhagen Metro network.[4] The S-train station opened in 1934, and the metro station opened in 2020.[2]
History
Nordhavn station was opened on 15 May 1934 simultaneously with the opening of the S-train service on the Boulevard Line between Østerport station and Copenhagen Central Station also known as Røret (literally: the tube).[2]
In 2006 the station was rebuilt. The existing shop and DSB ticket office were merged into a new 7-Eleven shop that is located just inside the station entrance.
The metro station opened on 28 March 2020 with the opening of the M4-line of the Copenhagen Metro.[6]
Architecture
The functionalist station from 1934 was built to designs by the Danish architect Knud Tanggaard Seest who was the head architect of the Danish State Railways from 1922 to 1949.[5]
