Wien Hauptbahnhof[4][1][5] (German for "Vienna Main station";[6][7] also referred to in English as "Vienna Hauptbahnhof"[8][9]) is the main railway station in Vienna, Austria, located in the Favoriten district.[10]

Wien Hauptbahnhof has replaced the Wien Südbahnhof terminus[11] with a through station linking four major railway lines converging on Vienna from the North, East, West and South. The new station offers significantly improved, principally international, connectivity.[2] By moving the main access to Südtiroler Platz, the new station is better connected to the Vienna U-Bahn system, and is also accessible by Vienna S-Bahn, tram and bus lines.[12] The Südtiroler Platz S-Bahn station was renamed Wien Hbf (platforms 1 and 2) in December 2012.[8]

Timeframe

The city council agreed to build the station 15 December 2006. Construction began in June 2007, starting with preliminary works such as the remodelling of the S-Bahn station Südtiroler Platz. In 2008, the S-Bahn and the U-Bahn stations at Südtiroler Platz were connected with each other and Südbahnhof was demolished.

In 2009, ÖBB Infrastruktur awarded a €220m construction contract to a consortium led by Strabag.[13]

The bulk of Südbahnhof's services (platforms 11-19) were closed with the timetable change of 13 December 2009, with Wien Meidling railway station temporarily taking over many of Südbahnhof's services.[14] Construction started in April 2010.[15]

Trains began passing through the new Hauptbahhof without stopping, 6 August 2012.[6] The station became partly operational in December 2012,[1] with regional and S-Bahn services using platforms 9-12 and long-distance trains not stopping.[8] It was expected that the Hauptbahnhof would fully open in December 2014, however delays in completing a footbridge mean it will not be fully operational until December 2015.[4][8]

The rebuilt station has around 100 shops and restaurants as well as 600 car parking spaces.[13] Office and residential developments are currently being built.

Opening

The Hauptbahnhof was officially opened by President Heinz Fischer 10 October 2014,[5] with many long-distance services due to use the new station beginning 14 December 2014 when the night trains to Berlin, Bucharest, Düsseldorf, Florence, Hamburg, Hanover, Köln, Kraków, Milan, München, Rome, Venice, Verona and Zürich will depart from the station. A new daily high-speed train service between Graz and Prague (via Wien Hbf) will depart every two hours.[9]
