Restoration of Oldenburg main station in full swing

Deutsche Bahn (DB) has started renovating Hauptbahnhof Oldenburg, a key hub for the Wunderline. The historic station hall will regain its former glory and be restored to its original 1915 state. The main work started at the end of February 2024 and includes the dismantling, restoration and (re)construction of three historical canopies including glazing.

Important node

With the renovation, Deutsche Bahn is investing around 80 million in Oldenburg's future as a major transport hub. Oldenburg welcomes as many as 25,000 passengers every day. In the future, these travellers will not only enjoy a modern and comfortable station, but also a unique piece of heritage. At the same time, the renovation is a great step forward in improving the connection between Groningen and Bremen.
