Leipzi Hbf 2

Leipzig Hauptbahnhof (Leipzig main station) is amazing. It is the central railway terminus in Leipzig, Germany. At 83,460 square metres (898,400 sq ft), it is the world’s largest railway station measured by floor area. It has 19 overground platforms housed in six iron train sheds, a multi-level concourse with towering stone arches, and a 298 metres (978 ft) long facade.[1][2] Two Leipzig City Tunnel underground platforms were inaugurated in December 2013.Further modifications of platforms and tracks are currently being carried out in the course of the construction of the Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle high-speed railway line, part of the European Berlin–Palermo railway axis.

In 1944 this hall was destroyed by american bombing (they were aiming for industries 3 miles away at the time). The rebuilding took until 1965, then the later rebuild created the multi-levels you see here now.
