history

Extraordinary ICE from Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof to 's-Hertogenbosch at Eindhoven Centraal station

The current train station in Eindhoven was built in 1956 based on a design by the Dutch architect Koen van der Gaast. The station bears an intended resemblance to a Philips radio from that time. In Koen van der Gaast's vision, the station should only be a through station for the population and not one where people should stay longer. Furthermore, the train station in the center should catch the eye. Before the current station building was erected, there were several other stations in the same place. There is a statue of Anton Philips on the station forecourt . With the timetable change on December 15, 2019, the Eindhoven train station received the addition Centraal .
