The Hamburg central station is the biggest German railway station hall and roofed a space of 206-m length, 135-m width and 37-m height. With up to 450,000 travellers and visitors per day it is the most-visited railway station of Germany. He finished in 1906 in the neorenaissance style and on the 6th December, 1906 openly. The railway station just as his bringing and leading away rails uses the ditch of the former city fortification of 1630. The Jugendstil elements in the prize-winning draught of the Berlin architects Reinhardt and Süßenguth from Berlin-Charlottenburg were substituted on personal instruction for emperor Wilhelm II. with elements of the neorenaissance to lend an appearance similar to castle to the railway station. The technical concept came from Ernst Moeller. The railway station hall has 14 rails, of it 12 for train connections and 2 for city railroad trains.

Leipzig Central Station

The Leipzig Central Station is, at 83,460 m², Europe´s largest station when measured by floor area and arguably one of Germany´s finest railway terminals. It has 24 platforms housed in six iron trainsheds; a multi-level concourse with towering stone arches; and a 293 meter-long facade. It sees an average of 150,000 passengers per day, with a total of over 54 million people using the Hauptbahnhof each year. The station was opened in 1915 as a joint terminal for the Saxon State Railways and the Prussian State Railways. Because of this, the building is uniquely designed with two identical domed entrance halls facing the street, one for each company. After the various railway systems of Germany were combined into the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the two halls lost this purpose. From: www.wikipedia.org
