Gießen station, Railway station in Giessen, Germany
Giessen station features eleven platform tracks divided into two sections, supporting regional and long-distance services across central Germany's railway network.
The station commenced operations on August 25, 1850, while the current Romanesque Revival building was constructed between 1904 and 1911 by architect Ludwig Hofmann.
The station building, protected under the Hessian Monument Protection Act, represents a prime example of early 20th-century German railway architecture.
The facility serves approximately 20,000 daily passengers with a ServicePoint, ticket office, bookshop, and retail outlets for food and travel necessities.
The north wing required complete reconstruction after destruction in 1944, leading to modifications that integrated modern elements with the historical structure.
