I regard Stadthausbrucke station as one of the top 3 junctions to reach almost anywhere and anything in Hamburg.
Not only that but it has two entrances at each end of it's (very long) platform; one end of which is 100 meters from my office with the other being 100 meters from my apartment. So this means the trains are almost instantly accessible but that there is a great undercover route to and from work when it rains or it's just freezing cold.
Hamburg Airport, an IKEA, the beaches at Blankenese & Wedel, the StadtPark and the Reeperbahn all lie on this line (S1) costing just a couple of Euro to reach.
Plus of course all other stations and lines can connected to via the S1 line via Stadthausbrucke station. read more
