[4K] Berlin Central Station - the modern main train station in Berlin

The spectacular Berlin Central Station is located close to the government district in the heart of Berlin. Berlins main train station is the central hub for all rail traffic in the capital. Here inter-city and regional trains connect with Berlin's local rail, underground, tram and bus network.
Berlin Central Station is one of the most spectacular architectural projects of the capital. After undergoing eleven years of construction, the station formerly known as the Lehrter Stadtbahnhof was reopened on 28 May 2006 as the largest and most modern connecting station in Europe.
In this video you will first see some impressions of the station and then we take a walk through the station on all 5 levels. We start at Europaplatz, the northern entrance, go to the highest level where the long-distance train and the local express train (S-Bahn) run. At both ends of the platform we have a view of the surrounding area.
Then we go down the intermediate levels to the north-south tunnel for long distance trains.
Afterwards we pass a model of the station and then the subway station, where we see pictures of the fomer pre-war head train stations of Berlin. End is on Washingtonplatz at the Cube Berlin (here is an extra video about the Cube: • [4K] Cube Berlin - can...
More information:
There are two main levels for train traffic and three connection and business levels. However, it is interesting to note that the concept of a "cathedral of transport" was not quite able to be realised in accordance with the wishes of the architect Meinhard von Gerkan. For example, he had planned on having a vaulted roof but this had to give way to a flat roof. Furthermore, the glass roof above the upper rail system had to be reduced significantly. Nevertheless, the station is delicate, spacious and full of light. The 321 metre long glass hall for rails running east to west is crossed by the 160 metre long and 40 metre wide concourse where rails are running north to south. A sophisticated system of large openings in the ceilings at all levels allows for natural light to be let in so that it can even reach the lower tracks. The architecture places an emphasis on the character of the station as a traffic intersection. For the Hamburg-based architects Gerkan, Marg & Partner, the importance of the new Berlin Central Station consists in the fact that it serves as an interface in Europe and this point is the determining factor of their design.

Thank you Brigitte, glad you liked it. The train stations are all gone, despite Hamburger Bahnhof which is now a museum. You can see it in my new video.

A great and wonderful memory. Stettiner is an example of the stations that served cities that are now from another country.

I have made many trips to Berlin since my trip to Berlin in January 2017. I always admire and look to Berlin as a beautiful setting to live, work, visit, and be inspired in! There is so much to see and do and, despite the Berlin City of Culture, still the city manages to be a place of beauty. If you are ever in Berlin, make sure you plan to spend a few minutes taking in the sights and sounds of Berlin!
