"Tief" means "deep" in German. "Hbf tief" is the underground S-bahn station. You get to it by going down stairs under the street on the north side of the station.

HBF literally stands for Hauptbahnhof, but I think Lee is giving you the actual location and he's probably right.

As a "real German" I can confirm that Lee is absolutely right. We use the word "Tiefbahnhof" in many cities, incl. Frankfurt and Munich as a differentiater between the ground level and the underground level(s). In Berlin you even have a "Hochbahnhof" or "hoch" as at the new main station there is a ground level, an underground level and an elevated (hoch) level...
