Görlitz railway station, Railway station in Görlitz, Germany
Görlitz railway station is a station building with six operational tracks located at the border between Germany and Poland. The facility connects German and Polish railway networks and functions as a major transportation junction in the region.
The station opened in 1847 and transformed Görlitz into a key transportation hub with resulting urban growth. The building was later redesigned in Art Nouveau style and lost its electrical systems in 1945 due to wartime damage.
The entrance hall displays ornate Art Nouveau details with decorative elements throughout the interior spaces. The station serves as a daily gathering point where travelers from both German and Polish communities meet and pass through.
The building is easily accessible by stairs and pathways, with clear interior layout for travelers. Visitors will find restaurants and shops nearby, and regular train services operate in multiple directions from here.
The building was originally constructed with twelve tracks and received early electrification in 1923, which was advanced for that time. Today the station architecture still displays the design elements and details from its period as a major European railway junction.
