Tips

Station building of the Dutch Railways, 1912-1915, including the platform roofs in reinforced concrete. The station is situated in the line of sight of the Wycker Percee and as such forms the urban development end of this transverse breakthrough from the old Maas bridge through the old street pattern of Wyck and the former fortifications to the railway yard.

The exterior of the station is designed in a sober, neo-renaissance-influenced architectural style. The interior shows strong Berlagian influences. The station was designed by railway architect Ir. G.W. van Heukelom, commissioned by the Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen.

The original elevated bridge to the other side of the yard has been demolished. The new elevated bridge with lift between the station vestibule and Meerssenerweg plus the service houses and the gatehouse on the south side of the station are excluded from protection.

The architecture shows a preference for long flat facades, parallel roofs and window divisions with vertical accents. This vertical accent is reinforced by the gables and the stair tower.

Subtle ornamentation by applying facade bands, small rod divisions in the window series, facade bands, simple decorative brickwork, block and mouse tooth decorations, facade plaques with provincial coats of arms in the cornice of the station entrance, gable braiding, diamond motifs, ridge pawns, etc.

Granite lions with the coat of arms of Maastricht above the entrance, designed by Willem Brouwer and carved by Simon J. Tempelman. The reinforced concrete roof of the first, second and third platforms, with steel column bands and yellow-green tile ornaments, is the first platform roof in the Netherlands to be made of such a material.

Maastricht Station is a monumental building from 1913 and is immediately recognizable to travelers. Like Maastricht Station, there is only one. To preserve the monumental building, designed by George van Heukelom, old elements were brought back.
