Hannover Hauptbahnhof, Central station in Mitte, Germany
The main railway station of Hanover extends 182 meters in length and 26.45 meters in width, featuring yellow brick walls with red stripes.
The station began operations in 1843 with a temporary structure for the Lehrte line before architect Hubert Stier completed the current building in 1879.
The Renaissance Revival style building earned recognition as an architectural heritage monument and received the Station of the Year award in 2004.
The station contains six platforms with twelve tracks, serving approximately 250,000 passengers daily through regional, national, and international rail connections.
During preparations for Expo 2000, the station received extensive renovations including an enlarged main tunnel and modern electronic interlocking systems.
