history
The first train station in Zug was built between 1863 and 1864 on today's Bundesplatz by the architect Jakob Friedrich Wanner . It was a dead end station that could only be reached from the direction of Cham and Knonau. The trains could be turned with an additional track triangle. When the railway lines to Zurich via Thalwil and Arth-Goldau were built in 1897 , the station had to be relocated to the site of today's wedge station. The first station building was dismantled and rebuilt in Zurich Wollishofen .
Station building
Between 2001 and 2004 a newly designed station building was built in the city center for around 65 million Swiss francs. The building area is approximately 6500 m². Every day around 20,000 people flock to the triangular train station, one of the ten largest in Switzerland .
Viewed from top to bottom, the building consists of three office floors, a shop area at track level and one at city level, as well as the basement used as a storage area. There are a total of 14 shops in the station. A new passage was specially built for the station building so that pedestrians can get to the station concourse. The separate Grafenau and Metalli quarters are now easier to reach. New shelters were built for cyclists. The newly created station square serves as a turning area for the buses. There is also an Internet connection via wireless LAN at certain locations within the train station .
At dusk, the station building is illuminated by the light transport light installation by the artist James Turrell until 11 p.m. For this purpose, fluorescent tubes were mounted on the southern glass front , which can produce the colors red, green and blue and the resulting mixed colors. Since there can be technical problems with the control of the lighting elements in the event of prolonged cold, the system is switched off in such situations. The station received a Brunel Award on October 19, 2005 for the light installation and the architecture .
