A stylish station.

Description

The terrain was somewhat difficult, so a retaining wall had to be built first. Between it runs the street level and the ground floor of the station on one side and the railway line at the level of the first floor of the station. The station buildings are functionally composed of two areas. On the east is situated a six-storey administration and residential building. Railway employees could thus live right next to their workplace. Probably a curse and a blessing at the same time. The flats are embellished with semi-circular balconies. To the west, lower buildings were built to house the passenger's railway station, featuring a waiting hall, a baggage claim area, a restaurant, various shops and the subway to the platforms.

History

The station building is located on the Prague-Děčín-(Dresden) railway line, important for the Czech Republic. The train station does not play a role in international train traffic, as international trains do not stop at this station. The old station building on the other side of the line was demolished during the construction work of this station, which was built according to plans from 1929 between August 1930 to 1932. Miloš Fikr was responsible for the building layout, and Vojtěch Krch was in charge of the construction plans.
