Strasbourg Railway Station

Strasbourg Railway Station

Strasbourg Railway Station is located in the Bas-Rhin department and is one of the most important railway stations in eastern France. It has been in use since 1846 and was rebuilt in 1883. The station was designed by Berlin architect Johann Jacobsthal. In 2007, the station underwent renovation, and a glass facade was added to the exterior.

The station’s facade is actually in a classic European style, but it is wrapped in a bubble-like glass covering, achieving a perfect blend of classical and modern elements. Under sunlight and through the refraction of the glass, the exterior of the station displays several colors, adding to its mystique. First-time visitors to Strasbourg are often captivated by this modern and magnificent railway station. Unlike many other European train stations, Strasbourg’s station exudes a strong modernist, contemporary vibe. Its style makes the city’s atmosphere even more intriguing — a fusion of classical and modern, as well as a mix of French and German styles. This is the first impression that Strasbourg Railway Station gives.
