Offenbach Central Station
Offenbach Central Station, Central station and cultural heritage monument in Offenbach am Main, Germany.
Description
Offenbach Central Station is a railway facility with six platforms and a Renaissance Revival entrance building distinguished by ornamental facades and detailed architectural elements. The tracks run at ground level and are surrounded by modern waiting areas and access points.
History
The station opened in 1873 and underwent major changes between 1912 and 1926 when the tracks were relocated to an elevated embankment to allow road traffic to pass underneath. This transformation fundamentally reshaped the station's appearance and function.
Culture
The entrance building is protected as a cultural monument and defines the local landscape with its Renaissance Revival facade. The Vogelbrunnen fountain by Bruno Schaefer in the entry area is a familiar sight for daily travelers and visitors.
Practical
The station is accessible on foot from central Offenbach and serves as a connection point for trains to Frankfurt, Hanau, and other regions. The building is open during daytime hours, but keep in mind that the ticket window is unmanned and tickets must be purchased elsewhere.
Did you know?
An underground S-Bahn tunnel was built through central Offenbach in 1995, significantly reducing the importance of this surface-level station. Today it mainly serves regional rail traffic and sees fewer travelers than it once did.
