Worms Central Station, Railway station in Worms, Germany
Worms Central Station is a railway station in Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, built in the Romanesque Revival style. The building has several platforms spread across multiple levels, serving both long-distance and regional train connections.
The station was built in 1904 to designs by architect Fritz Klingholz, replacing an older facility that could no longer handle the growing volume of train traffic. The new building gave the city a stronger connection to the wider rail network.
The stone facade of the station, with its rounded arches and carved details, looks more like a church or a town hall than a transport building. This was a deliberate choice at the time, when railway stations were expected to represent a city's character to arriving travelers.
The station sits close to the center of Worms and is easy to reach on foot or by local bus. Because the platforms are spread across several levels, arriving a few minutes early helps with finding the right one without any rush.
A pedestrian tunnel runs beneath the station and links the eastern and western sides of the Worms city center. It is used daily by many people as a shortcut and tends to be noticeably quieter than the streets above.
