Rostock Hauptbahnhof is the main station of the Mecklenburg Hanseatic City of Rostock and the largest passenger station in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

The train station is located in the south-west of the Steintor-Vorstadt , about a fifteen-minute walk from the city center. The train station is integrated into the city's local transport by tram lines , omnibus lines and the Rostock S-Bahn . The central bus station in Rostock is located next to the south portal .

history

Today's main station was put into operation in 1886 by the railway and steam shipping company Deutsch-Nordischer-Lloyd as the Lloyd station . The company operated the Lloyd-Bahn Neustrelitz - Rostock - Warnemünde and the subsequent mail steamer connection to Nykøbing (Falster) . In 1894 the Lloyd-Bahn was bought by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and incorporated into the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz-Eisenbahn (MFFE), which already operated a large station in Rostock with the Friedrich-Franz-Bahnhof . The parallel operation of both stations for passenger and goods traffic turned out to be inefficient. In 1896, the Lloyd station took over most of the passenger traffic and was initially renamed Central Station and, after the turn of the 20th century, Rostock Hauptbahnhof . With inclusion of the rail ferry from Warnemünde to Gedser in 1903 held in the station the continuous distance express trains Berlin - Copenhagen . After the route entry from Stralsund was rebuilt, the trains to and from Stralsund at Friedrich-Franz-Bahnhof were no longer available . The previous Friedrich-Franz-Bahnhof became the Rostock freight yard . The main station has always been of particular importance for passenger traffic.

North entrance 1920

In 1913 the main station got a representative reception hall with Art Nouveau elements and small balustrades based on designs by Paul Korff , in 1922 the platform systems were extended by two platform tracks and the station tunnel expanded accordingly.

During the Second World War , the station was damaged in bombing raids. A provisional reconstruction followed. After the division of Germany, Rostock became the most important port of the GDR. The importance of Rostock and thus of the main station increased significantly from 1960 at the latest. Passenger numbers rose sharply, especially after the establishment of new industrial plants and residential areas in the north-west of the city. In long-distance traffic, the importance of north-south connections to Dresden , Leipzig and Berlin, among others , increased. Direct trains to Prague and Budapest have been set up. The “classic” long-distance connections from Rostock to Hamburg and Copenhagen have only led a shadowy existence since the division of Germany in 1949. The expansion of the station did not keep pace with the demands, and improvisation had to be made again and again. To cope with the increasing number of passengers, additional platforms were built. The station tunnel was given an exit in the direction of Südstadt. In 1985 it was connected to the electrified network of the Deutsche Reichsbahn .

With the reunification there was a shift in traffic. On the one hand there was a change of traffic away from rail to road, on the other hand the importance of the connections to Hamburg and Kiel (via Lübeck) increased strongly. The direct long-distance connections to Dresden, Magdeburg and Leipzig were initially discontinued until the mid-1990s and the connection to Copenhagen was also discontinued with the discontinuation of the rail ferry service to Gedser. The Rostock - Berlin route has been reduced to local transport level.

Reconstruction of the station

Due to the limited capacity of the station, there were already plans in GDR times to convert the station or even to build a new main station. In the 1960s, the city's general transport plan included a new through station near the Brinckmansdorf district , where trains from Stralsund were to continue south without changing direction . Freight traffic should be completely separated from passenger traffic. However, the project did not materialize. Plans around 1980 envisaged the removal of the central reception building to make room for island platforms. A new platform was also to be built on the north side of the station. The entrance there should remain, but the main entrance should be relocated to the south side of the station, where a new reception building was planned. When the station was rebuilt from 1999 to 2003, similar ideas were partially implemented. The reception building on the north side was rebuilt with the inclusion of the old reception hall. A new tunnel level, the tram tunnel and a small southern receiving building were added. The central reception building was removed except for a small part. A direct change from long-distance and regional transport to trams is now possible on two levels below the tracks. A new island platform for S-Bahn traffic was created and new numbering was introduced.

Since the renovation at the beginning of the 21st century, the station has had another on the south side in addition to the main reception building on the north side of the tracks. The platforms with eleven platform tracks are reached via a tunnel level between the two reception buildings. The Rostock tram stop with two platforms is on a second tunnel level.

The platforms are arranged as follows: to the southwest of the main reception building is an island platform with tracks 1 and 2. They are mainly used by the Rostock S-Bahn trains. This is followed by a wide island platform with through tracks 3 on the northeast and 7 on the southwest side. The station's first reception building was located on this platform, which was largely removed during the renovation after 2000. Head tracks 4 and 5 are on the east side of this platform, while head track 6 was put into operation on the west side in December 2012 and is occasionally used by the S-Bahn trains to Warnemünde. Two more island platforms with tracks 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 are connected to the southwest.

The station building of the main station was a listed building until the end of the 20th century. After the station renovation, it is no longer included in the monument lists.
