Halle Central Station

The main railway station features 13 platforms arranged in an island configuration, connecting regional and long-distance train services throughout Saxony-Anhalt and beyond.

The station opened in 1890 after replacing an earlier railway stop from the 1840s that served the Magdeburg-Leipzig and Thuringian railway lines.

The architectural design by Friedrich Peltz incorporates elements of late 19th-century German railway architecture, earning the building cultural heritage monument status.

Ticket offices operate from 6:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, with direct train connections to Berlin taking 66 minutes and Leipzig requiring 19 minutes.

In 2023, the station received the Station of the Year award while maintaining connections with over 270 transportation companies across the German rail network.
