Vienna Meidling shines: Kunstwerk enchants new train station!

In the heart of Vienna, the Meidling train station has been extensively modernized since 2022 to offer modern comfort and an appealing ambience to the approximately 85,000 rail travelers every day. The ÖBB not only improved the infrastructure, but also created an impressive work of art entitled "The Lost Garden", which extends over more than 300 square meters and adorns the new Passage West. Erich Pirkl, Managing Director of ÖBB-Immobilienmanagement GmbH, emphasizes that the Meidling train station as the second most important traffic junction of the city plays a central role. The focus was on creating a space in which people feel comfortable and like to linger, which is underlined by the art project, which was created in cooperation with Kör art in public space in Vienna href = "https://presse.wien.gv.at/presse/2024/12/modereization-am-bahnhof-meidling-300m-kunstwerk-neues-licht-und-mehr-komfort"> press.wien.gv.at reported.

A central aspect of modernization also affects accessibility and comfortable waiting areas that have been in operation since July 2022. The new waiting area was equipped with comfortable seating and modern departure monitors. The project is therefore not only a task for the ÖBB, but is also positively received by local politicians, such as district head Wilfried Zankl, who emphasizes the need for a well -developed, climate -friendly transport infrastructure. The creative connection of art and mobility, which was created by the artist Christian Kosmas Mayer, is particularly impressive. He carried out historical research and, by means of artificial intelligence, reconstructed representations of the long -disappeared Prónaygartens, which offers travelers a visual insight into the past.

Wiener Hauptbahnhof and its importance

The new Wiener Central Station is another milestone in the city's transport policy. He combines trains at a central point and marks the progress of a comprehensive urban development plan that was revised in 2004. The architectural design of the main station includes a striking, sculptural roof that raises the station into a symbol of the city, while it also serves as a connecting point for the surrounding areas. The design of the roof, which was designed as a wave structure, not only creates impressive interior and outdoor spaces, but also ensures a feeling of dynamics and movement. Each segment of the roof is ordered multi-dimensional and thus creates breathtaking light and shadow effects. Details such as the rhombus-shaped skylights and the protective facade of glass triangles make the station an architectural highlight that is of central importance for the further development of the urban area in Vienna, as is also emphasized by Architizer.com
