The train station Diebsteich is served by the rapid transit trains of the Hamburg S-Bahn and the Hamburg-Altona–Kiel railway.
It is planned to replace Hamburg-Altona station for long distance and regional trains in 2027.
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.

According to the German newspapers Hamburger Morgenpost and Die Welt in September 2009, the Deutsche Bahn AG plans to close the long distance train station at Altona and to build a new station at the area of Diebsteich station.
The station will be rebuilt and renamed Hamburg Altona, replacing the current Hamburg Altona station, which will be withdrawn from long distance and regional service after completion of the works, allowing terminating trains to proceed to the stabling facilities in Langenfelde without turning around, as well as services travelling onward to Kiel to serve the station without turning around.
