Wowwww Cool and nice station

pflo777 · November 14th, 2006, 11:54 AM

is that really how its going to look like?
Right now, while the station was already inaugurated, the tracks on the side are not covered with membranes!
Will they be covered later?

Here are some new pics from the station:

I like how they combined the Old and the Modern Architecture, like the Glass Roof that is supported by these criss-cross Arcs from earlier times. Nice!

redstone · November 18th, 2006, 01:33 PM

WOW! So cool! Reminds me of Riechstag!

What's the history behind the station?

city_thing · November 18th, 2006, 07:17 PM

Whilst I think Norman Foster is overrated as an architect, I'm very happy about this new station. Go Dresden!

***hkskyline*** · November 20th, 2006, 12:10 PM

Outside transport terminal looks quite good as well :

chico_pastor · November 20th, 2006, 05:39 PM

Wonderful Wonderful wonderful mix between old and modern architecture =)
Loved it!

Some pictures from inside. Remindes me a bit of New York

Very interesting. I was in Dresden in 1995 and took a day trip there from Berlin. I didn't seem to remember the Bahnhof being that distinct at the time.

I wish I could like this refurbishment but I don't! I hope the square in front of the station will be redisgned, seems like an eyesore at this moment.

The interior looks good but the blandness of the exterior is something I would expect, say, Calatrava to have prevented.

pflo777 · July 25th, 2007, 12:29 PM

The Stuttgart Main Staion will be redeveloped.

Its planned to replace the existing 150 years old station by a new underground through-station, including a 100 km long high speed line connecting Stuttgart with Ulm and the Stuttgart airport

Investments will be 5 billion€

the station will be "turned" 90° and enter and leave the city in a long tunnel

Think1st · August 2nd, 2007, 09:40 PM

I can´t believe it. They will built it.

They discussing this project since nearly 10 years.
Do you know if they built now also the high-speed track to Ulm and the station at Stuttgart-Airport?

pflo777 · August 2nd, 2007, 10:37 PM

yes, they will
the new high speed line with a stop at stuttgart airport/trade fair was also part of the summit, that lead to the go-ahead for both projects.

Stuttgart 21 will cost 2.8 billion, the new HSL to Ulm wil cost 2.2 billion.
That makes the 5 billion all together.

goschio · August 3rd, 2007, 02:32 AM

I will believe it when they start construction.

eusebius · August 3rd, 2007, 05:15 PM

Saw it on Monitor just 2 days ago, shame though Bahn cuts so many services now that it is going to the stock exchange. No more trains to Hof

Questions:

Why is the Mercedes Benz logo on top of the tower that's part of the existing station?

What will happen to the station and associated track once the new one is opened?

Maxx☢Power · August 5th, 2007, 06:57 PM

It's probably just there as an advertisement. I bet it spins around too.
