Wien Hernals railway station, Heritage railway station in Hernals, Austria.
Wien Hernals is an active railway station in the northwestern part of Vienna, with two side platforms and several tracks running through it. It sits directly along Hernalser Hauptstraße and is part of the city's suburban rail network.
The station opened in 1898 as part of the expansion of Vienna's urban railway network, a project closely linked to the architect Otto Wagner. The building has remained standing since then as a witness to that period of city planning.
The station building is a protected monument and shows the style of Vienna's early urban railway architecture. Travelers waiting on the platform can observe the carefully crafted facade details up close.
The station is easy to reach from Hernalser Hauptstraße and connects to other transport options in the area. Line S45 stops here and links the district to the city center and other neighborhoods.
Although the station is a protected monument, it continues to function as a regular stop in daily use without changes to the original building. This makes it one of the few places in Vienna where a historic structure and an active rail service share the same space.
