Telegraph station with relief-writer telegraph, Morse code button, and relay for local circuit, built as part of the Hamburg-Cuxhaven line

This telegraph station is one of the oldest European Morse telegraphs. William Robinson and his stepson, Charles, came to Hamburg in May 1847 with 2 Morse telegraphs from the Chubbuck workshop in Utica, NY. In 1847–48 they sold 2 units each to the Hanoverian State Railway, the Hamburg-Cuxhaven lines, and the Bremen-Bremerhaven line, and one to the Kingdom of Prussia for the Berlin-Cologne line. The Robinsons played a pivotal role in Germany's first telegraph lines.
