Dresden-Neustadt station
Dresden-Neustadt is a Deutsche Bahn station on Schlesischer Platz, built from 1898 to 1901 to replace the Schlesischer Bahnhof.
What it is
Deutsche Bahn names the station Dresden-Neustadt, and in English calls it “Dresden-Neustadt station”. The city's German pages use “Bahnhof Dresden-Neustadt” and “Bahnhof Neustadt”. Its pages on bahnhof.de are published by DB InfraGO AG, the Deutsche Bahn company that runs its stations.
History
The station was built from 1898 to 1901 to replace the Schlesischer Bahnhof (Silesian Station). It was part of the large-scale rebuilding of Dresden's railway network around 1900, the Dresdner Knoten.
The city says the station building and tracks were extensively reconstructed, partly to make them accessible to people with reduced mobility.
The building
The station is a large train shed with a long entrance building in front, whose central section is marked by a glass dome. Inside, the decoration is in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style.
The station is a listed monument, together with the side walls of the railway bridge over Hansastraße, a relief by Theodor Kunz and the locomotive depot with its roundhouse.
