Introduction: Hamburg had one of the oldest and most extensive German tram networks. The first electrically-powered line was opened as early as 1894. In 1958, the Senate of the Hansestadt Hamburg decided to close down the entire network; the last route was converted to a bus service in 1978. Several depots were converted to building supplies stores and supermarkets. When the last tram depot in Old Kollaustrasse in Lokstedt became a DIY store, a “conservation light” approach was applied.
