Hungerburgbahn Station, Funicular station in Innsbruck, Austria.
The Hungerburgbahn station features glass walls and flowing architectural forms that connect the city center with the Hungerburg district at 860 meters elevation.
Engineer Josef Riehl designed the original station in 1906, which operated until 2005 before architect Zaha Hadid created the current structure in 2007.
The station serves as a gateway between urban Innsbruck and the Alpine environment, connecting residents and visitors to the Nordkette mountain range.
The funicular operates daily from early morning to late evening, covering 1.8 kilometers and ascending 288 meters at a maximum speed of 10 meters per second.
The station incorporates tilting mechanisms in its carriages to maintain level passenger compartments despite the steep gradients throughout the journey.

Train stations from around the world selected for their architecture. These buildings represent different periods and architectural styles, from neo-Renaissance to contemporary. Some are adorned with domes, glass canopies, sculptures, and frescoes, while others incorporate modern steel and glass structures. These edifices blend functionality with architectural quality, as demonstrated by Antwerp Central Station with its layered levels or Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai with its Victorian details.
