Hauptbahnhof Innsbruck (Central Station)
Architecture: Riegler Riewe Architekten (2001-2004) Builder-owner: ÖBB Open to the public: yes The two giant frescoes by Max Weiler (1954/55) have been transferred from the old station hall to the new building.
A long-stretching red cover encloses the Innsbruck Central Station; its main level had been lowered down to be directly accessible from the underground parking lot. The spacious grand hall with a gallery houses the railway’s customer area, shops, cafés and restaurants. The perforated concrete cover engulfs all the building’s functions and allows quick and furtive, filtered, as it were, glances from the platforms into the city.
