Building and architecture

The station structure is 263 m long, 15 m wide and 10 m deep (one and a half times the depth). The construction work for this began on June 1, 1992 and was carried out in the open construction method with Berlin shoring . The road traffic on Äußere Bayreuther Straße was led over an auxiliary bridge over the excavation pit during the construction period. For commuters from the catchment area of Bundesstraße 2 , a park-and-ride car park with 500 spaces was built south of the station.

The architecture of the station is based on the brickworks of the imperial city of Nuremberg , which were located in Herrnhütte between 1554 and 1794 . The platform walls are clad with mirror and brick surfaces that take up the vehicle dynamics through increasing and decreasing surfaces.
