Leipzig Hauptbahnhof Leipzig main station}}) is, at 83,460 m², the world's largest railway station when measured by floor area. It has 24 platforms housed in six iron trainsheds; a multi-level concourse with towering stone arches; and a 293 metre-long facade. It handles an average of 120,000 passengers per day.[1]

The station was opened in 1915 as a joint terminal for the Royal Saxon State Railways and the Prussian state railways. The building has two identical domed entrance halls facing the street, one for each company. When the German railway systems were combined into the German Empire Railway, the two halls lost this purpose. The building was damaged by bombing during World War II when the roof over the concourse collapsed, and one of the entrance halls was destroyed. The station was restored by the German Empire Railway to its original appearance in the 1950s.

After German reunification the station was renovated and modernized by the German Railway. The concourse floor was removed and two basement levels were dug out to create a shopping mall. Other areas of the building were largely restored, but also modernized at the time.

The City Tunnel Leipzig, leading from the south of Leipzig to the central Market station and Hauptbahnhof, is under construction and is expected to be finished in December 2013.[2]

The station was used in the 1992 film Shining Through.
