Stralsund Hauptbahnhof, Central railway station in Stralsund, Germany.
Stralsund Hauptbahnhof is the central railway station in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern built with Gothic Revival brick design, featuring a glass roof over the platforms and a spacious reception hall with high ceilings. The building blends sturdy architectural articulation with practical spaces for travelers.
The station was designed by Alexander Rüdell and opened in 1863, but was replaced by a new brick building constructed between 1903 and 1905. This rebuild shaped the city's appearance and symbolized Stralsund's connection to the expanding railway network.
The reception hall displays a large-scale painting from the 1930s by artist Erich Kliefert depicting Stralsund and Rügen Island from above. This artwork continues to define the character of the space and reflects the city's importance during that era.
The station offers luggage storage, bicycle parking, and shops for travel supplies throughout its platforms and corridors. Clear central entrances and connections to public transportation make navigation and orientation straightforward.
The building won the Station of the Year award in 2016 and is served by 22 daily train departures to Berlin. This recognition reflects its architectural quality and role as an important transport hub.
