| The present day station (wikimedia) |
The main station in the German city of Chemnitz (known as Karl-Marx-Stadt during the Communist era) was opened originally in 1854. It was badly damaged in bombing in March 1945 and later torn down. A station reasonably true to the original was opened in 1975.
Interestingly it is a mix of Kopfbahnhof and Durchgangbahnhof - or terminal and through station with nine tracks ending here and another 7 continuing through it, 2 outside the platform hall.
