Uelzen station

Uelzen station is a railway building in the Lower Saxony town of Uelzen with unconventional architectural design. The structure features curved walls, colorful facades, undulating roofs, and asymmetrical windows that extend across all areas.

The station opened in 1847 and served initially as a basic railway facility. A fundamental redesign took place in the late 1990s when a renowned Austrian architect completely reconceived the building.

The building is experienced by travelers as artwork that merges everyday functions with unexpected visual elements. The colorful surfaces and flowing lines shape how visitors move through and perceive the station hall.

The building is easily accessible by public transport and offers good train connections to larger cities in the region. Visitors should plan time to explore the architectural details both inside and on the exterior facades.

The building emerged from the artistic philosophy of an architect who favored organic forms and craft techniques. This approach makes the station a rare example of experimental architecture in the railway transport sector.
