Postcards from the 1910s. The station was established in 1854 and the current building was built in 1904-1911. It is what is known as a Keilbahnhof or wedge station with the tracks on either side but not reunited again like an island station.
The building is Romanesque Revival style; the cast-iron columns of the platform roof were from the 1854 station. It is a three-storey, red sandstone building held with a distinctive clock tower on an asymmetrical floor plan.
During WW2 the building was damaged, and the northern wing destroyed. In November 1968 the station lobby was renovated and the station building extended. In the early 1970s, the facade was renovated.
