History

In the 1930s work had been carried out to reroute the main line so that the old terminal station could be replaced with a through station. Increasing traffic after World War II period made the need for a modern through main station more urgent. It was decided to build a new through station at the edge of the city at its current location next to the Viewegs Garten.
