Hauptgüterbahnhof Hannover, Freight railway station in Nord Hannover, Germany.

The freight station complex spans four hectares with industrial halls, featuring preserved historic roof structures and industrial facades from its original construction.

Established in 1877 as a terminal station for general cargo, the facility expanded in 1931 to become one of Europe's largest and most advanced freight stations.

During Expo 2000, the unused station transformed into an art installation with extensive light design by artist Gerhard Merz, reflecting industrial heritage transformation.

The station area now houses a climbing hall, fitness center, restaurants, and a mechanized delivery base for Deutsche Post DHL packages.

Following partial demolition in 2015, the remaining halls maintain industrial elements while accommodating modern facilities, including a skateboarding park.
