Kassel Central Station

Kassel Central Station is a railway complex with twelve platform tracks in northern Hesse. The building with its solid stone facade forms the center of this facility, where trains arrive and depart daily in all directions.

The station began operations in 1856 and was built under the direction of Gottlob Engelhard. The construction of this facility marked a turning point in the region's transport history and connected Kassel with other major cities.

The station building displays the craftsmanship of the 19th century with its solid stone walls and tall windows that reflect the pride in railway technology. Visitors can read in the architecture how important the railway was to the city at that time.

The station connects Kassel with Frankfurt, Göttingen, and other major cities through regional and long-distance trains. Most areas are easy to reach, and information signs help with orientation on the grounds.

As a terminal station, all trains must reverse direction here before departing again. This system has become rare and makes the station a special example of historical railway engineering.
