Augsburg Hauptbahnhof is Germany's oldest operating large-city station
The Augsburg main station in Bavaria is recognized as the oldest railway station reception building in a German large city that remains in active operation. The current structure was built between 1843 and 1846 based on designs by architect Eduard Rüber.
While the current station at Rosenauberg officially opened on July 1, 1846, the city's rail history dates back further to October 4, 1840, when the first train arrived from Munich at a separate terminus near the Rote Tor. The station has undergone several modifications, including expansions in 1852 and 1856, and a significant redesign by Friedrich Bürklein between 1869 and 1871.
Although the Augsburg station holds the distinction of being the oldest in a major city, the oldest railway station in Germany is located in Vienenburg, Lower Saxony.
