The railway station Hameln was initiated in 1872. After a devastating fire in 1925, it was rebuilt and its structure as well as its access was fundamentally altered.The intervention after the wartime destruction in 1945 and several modifications into the 1980s conducted to fully unrecognizable conditions of the interior structure.Entire elements of the building were run-down and did not feature any functions at all. Some parts of the building were not connecting to the central circulation.
