- Berlin Central Station
Berlin Central Station (Berlin Hauptbahnhof) is the largest railway station in Germany and one of the most advanced transportation hubs in Europe. Located in the heart of the capital, near the River Spree and the government district, it plays a vital role in the city’s infrastructure and stands as a symbol of modern mobility and architectural innovation.
Opened in 2006 after more than a decade of planning and construction, the station is a multi-level complex integrating regional, national, and international rail connections. Designed by the architectural firm of Gerkan, Marg and Partners, the structure features transparent glass-and-steel facades, spacious interiors, and a sense of architectural lightness.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof serves over 300,000 passengers daily and connects Berlin with major cities across Germany and Europe. The station spans five levels, accommodating train platforms, retail galleries, service areas, cafés, offices, and connections to local transit, including S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams, and buses.
More than just a functional transit space, the station is a landmark of contemporary architecture and a key component of Berlin’s post-reunification identity. It reflects the spirit of an open, dynamic, and interconnected city — a gateway to modern Germany.
