Erfurt Hauptbahnhof or Erfurt Central Station[3][4][5] is the central railway station at Erfurt in Germany.[6] It is an important junction on the German rail network, served by numerous local and long-distance rail services. Immediately north of the station is Erfurt's city centre. The station was used by approximately 12.5 million passengers in 2006, an average of about 34,000 per day. The station lies on the Thüringer Bahn, which connects Halle to Bebra. It is served also by the Erfurter Bahn.

Overview

In order for future ICE services between Munich and Berlin to connect with the ICE services between Frankfurt/Main and Dresden changes are being made to the station's tracks and platforms, the station's building are being redeveloped and a new platform bridge is being constructed. The building of the third Erfurt Hauptbahnhof began in 2002 and was originally intended to be completed in 2007. Three island platforms and nine rail tracks as well as four dock platforms are planned. The double-span roof consists of a 20-metre-wide side span and a 65-metre-wide main span with a length of 157 metres and a maximum height of 25 metres. It will cost approximately €260 million. The new station is being built by DB-Projekts as part of the new high speed line between Berlin and München via the Nuremberg-Erfurt high-speed line and Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle high-speed lines.
