Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Central station in Mitte, Germany.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof spans five levels with glass walls, connecting north-south and east-west railway lines through two main transportation layers crossed at right angles.
The station opened in 2006 on the site of the former Lehrter Bahnhof, replacing eight terminal stations that operated in divided Berlin before reunification.
The station functions as a transportation center near the government district, connecting visitors to museums, including the Hamburger Bahnhof and the Natural History Museum.
The facility contains 43 elevators, features complete wheelchair accessibility, and provides 15,000 square meters of retail space across three central floors.
The structure incorporates 20,000 square meters of curved glass panels supported by 80,000 meters of steel cables, allowing natural light to reach all platforms.

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.
