The Mulhouse-Ville station ( French Gare de Mulhouse-Ville , German also occasionally called "Mülhausen Hauptbahnhof") is the main station of the southern Alsatian city of Mulhouse ( Mulhouse ). The train station operated by SNCF , with its two large halls and its monumental, elongated main façade, is one of the city's most prominent secular buildings .
history
The first Mulhouse train station rose from 1840 (according to other sources, 1838) some distance from the current building. The second station, built in 1842, was not far from the present one on the Strasbourg – Basel line and served - in regularly expanded form - until 1929. The present station was built from 1928 to 1932, a work by Charles Schulé, Albert Doll, R. Gélis and Gustave Umdenstock. The building was bombed in 1944 and rebuilt in 1955 with a simplified exterior and interior.
From 2006 to 2009, the station was completely renovated in preparation for the opening of the high-speed lines LGV Est européenne and LGV Rhin-Rhône as well as the Mulhouse tram that runs in front of the building .
Since the 2012/2013 timetable change in December 2012, there have again been up to seven pairs of trains between Mulhouse and Müllheim every day .
Since the end of August 2013 a pair of TGV trains has been running on the route Freiburg (Breisgau) Hbf - Paris Gare de Lyon on the Müllheim – Mulhouse railway , which also stops in Mulhouse.
In 2018, just over 5 million travelers used the station.
