Københavns Hovedbanegård ( German Copenhagen Central Station ), abbreviated København H , is the central station of Copenhagen and the most important long-distance station in the route network of the Danish State Railways . It was created based on a design by the architect Heinrich Wenck and was put into operation on December 1, 1911. Since 2019 it has also been connected to the Cityring of the Copenhagen Metro .
Predecessor stations
Today's main station had two previous stations in the same place. The first building was erected in 1847, with the platform tracks running across the current orientation. The second station was opened in 1864 as a replacement for the too small first station.

After Heinrich Wenck had worked out various proposals between 1898 and 1902, the current station (like its predecessors) was initially designed as a pure terminus , inaugurated by King Christian X on November 30, 1911 and put into operation the following day. The system had six platforms for passengers and five luggage platforms in between . On the outside of the platform on platform 1 (next to Tivoli ) there were operating rooms and the royal waiting rooms, and on the outside of platform 12 there was a raised luggage platform.
Location and surroundings
Today's train station is located in the southwest of the city center in the area of the former ramparts at the transition to the Vesterbro district . The inner-city amusement park Tivoli is immediately adjacent on the eastern side . Opposite the main portal, on Vesterbrogade, stands the Freedom Column, built 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 train station and has developed into an entertainment and red light district after the train station opened.
Track and platform systems
The reception building of the current passage station is located such that the current state under the increased Bahnhofsvorplatz and passing through a tunnel in the direction of the north or north at the beginning transverse to the tracks Helsingor be continued. This continues to create the impression of a terminus in the cityscape. In addition to trains to North Zealand, the tunnel route is also used by the S-tog system. However, the main long-distance routes København – Malmö and Vestbanen to Fredericia reach the central station from the south. The station has 13 platform tracks, of which tracks 1 to 8 and 26 are used for regional and long-distance traffic, tracks 9 to 12 are used by the Copenhagen S-Bahn.
