Düsseldorf Central Station

Düsseldorf Central Station is a hub with twenty main line platforms in the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia. The complex serves as a junction for regional services and international routes heading in multiple directions.

The current building rose between 1932 and 1936 to replace an older terminal from the late 19th century. Its design followed the New Objectivity movement, which combined modern construction methods with practical function at the time.

The building takes its name from the square where it stands, which once marked the main gateway into the city. Today travelers recognize the tower and horizontal lines as typical features of functional design from the early twentieth century.

The terminal sits at Konrad-Adenauer-Platz and offers a link to the airport in roughly six minutes by rail. Travelers will find signage on platforms and in the main hall to help navigate between tracks.

Every day around a quarter million travelers pass through the hall, making it one of the ten busiest terminals in the country. Trains run from here to Berlin, Munich and across the border to Amsterdam.
