Rostock Hauptbahnhof (usually translated from German as Rostock Central Station, short form: Rostock Hbf) is the central railway station in the German city of Rostock. The station was first opened in 1886 by the Deutsch-Nordischer Lloyd, operating a combined railway/ferry line to Nykøbing in Denmark. In 1894, the station was renamed to Central-Bahnhof and finally to Rostock Hauptbahnhof at the turn of the 20th century. The station saw further expansion in 1913 and 1922, but was heavily damaged in World War II. The importance of the classic connections to Hamburg and Copenhagen diminished after the German division, with long-distance services focusing on cities within the German Democratic Republic instead. Electrification reached the station in 1985.
After German reunification, the station was extensively modernised.
