Making a station in the old station building.

Exactly 110 years after the first opening, the second one followed, and a former station building had become a visitor center.

The old station building, built in 1898 by the Kassel architect Georg Karl Wilhelm Kegel, was repurposed in 2008 after an extensive renovation. The building, which is listed as a historical monument, features ornate decorative elements and striking half-timbered construction on the upper floor. Architectural firm Schultze & Schulze, in close collaboration with the State Office for Heritage Conservation, ensured that the original character of the building with its waiting room is once again tangible, while also meeting the requirements of a modern visitor center.
