Renovations
Post-War Reconstructions
During World War II, the station was severely damaged, but was quickly reconstructed after the War ended. Between 1945 and 1948 during the post-war monetary crisis and Hyperinflation which followed with the collapse of Germany's former currency, the Reichsmark the area around the station became a popular place for illegal trading and black market activities.[6]
Modern Renovations
In 2018, Platforms 2 and 3 were completely replaced and a new roof added. The new platforms have been adjusted in size to allow easier boarding of trains.[7] Since 2022 all platforms are fully accessible via an underpass with three elevators.[8] A renovation of the station building is set to begin in late 2027[9]
