Tips

  • Københavns Hovedbanegård is the main railway station in Copenhagen and the most important long-distance station in the Danish State Railways network. It was designed by the architect Heinrich Wenck and opened on December 1, 1911.
    The current main railway station had two predecessor stations on the same site.
    The first building was built in 1847, with the platform tracks running perpendicular to the current alignment.
    The second station was opened in 1864 as a replacement for the first station, which had become too small. After Heinrich Wenck had drawn up various
    proposals between 1898 and 1902, the current station was initially built (like its predecessors) as a pure terminal station, inaugurated by King Christian X on November 30, 1911 and opened the following day.
    The facility had six platforms for passengers and five baggage platforms in between. On the outside of the platform on track 1 (near the Tivoli) there were operating rooms and the royal waiting rooms,
    and on the outside of track 12 there was an elevated baggage platform.
    The current station is located in the southwest of the city center in the area of former ramparts at the transition to the Vesterbro district. On the eastern side, the inner-city amusement park Tivoli is directly adjacent. Opposite the main entrance, on Vesterbrogade, is the Freedom Column, erected in 1797, which commemorates the abolition of serfdom in Denmark, and the SAS Royal Hotel, built by Arne Jacobsen. Istedgade begins to the west of the main station, which developed into an entertainment and red-light district after the station opened. As was the case at the beginning, the reception building of the current through station is located north across the tracks, which are currently continued under the elevated station forecourt and through a tunnel towards the north or Helsingør. This means that the cityscape continues to have the impression of a terminal station. In addition to trains to North Zealand, the tunnel route is also used by the S-tog system. The station has 13 platform tracks, of which tracks 1 to 8 and 26 are used for regional and long-distance traffic, and tracks 9 to 12 are used by the Copenhagen S-Bahn.

  • I like these old train stations. You really feel that there is history and stories behind it.

  • Nice and old but a renovation would not be bad 😉
