Description
The building is very visible on the inner-city ring road of Halle (Saale). Accordingly, a valuable appearance of the single-storey building was important. The limestone slabs decorate the small building in a vertical arrangement. A clock was attached to the corner, which probably attracts a big attention. It is Halle's first synchronous clock, i.e. it receives its impulses via alternating current.The entrances to the toilets were accessed through the pillars. Today, only the former kiosk is still used as a snack bar. This semi-circular oriel, projecting beyond the rectangular basic shape of the building, is another architectural highlight of this station.

History
The city needed a stronger power supply in the late 1920s and built several transformer stations. This one in the city centre was designed with particular effort. The former multi-purpose building consisting of a toilet, kiosk, first aid station, telephone booth and clock tower is now only used as a snack stand with a clock.
