Schwerin Central Station, Central station in Schwerin, Germany.
Schwerin Central Station is a railway station with four tracks distributed across two platforms and features a spacious main hall as the entry point. An underground passage runs beneath the tracks, connecting all sections and making it easy to move between platforms.
The first station from 1847 was demolished and replaced between 1889 and 1890 with a new building designed by architect E. Müller in Gründerzeit style. This architectural approach left a lasting mark on the city's appearance.
The bronze sculpture "Rescue at Sea" stands in the forecourt and reflects the city's connection to maritime traditions and seafaring heritage. It serves as a reminder of how water and navigation have shaped local identity.
The station handles thousands of passengers daily and offers a wide range of train connections, from regional routes to long-distance services. Visitors will find amenities including shops, cafes, and information desks throughout the building.
The station received the title "Station of the Year" in 2008 following an extensive modernization that took several years to complete and transformed how travelers experience the building. This recognition highlighted the successful restoration of the historical structure for contemporary use.
