Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof: Modernization for better accessibility and style

The Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof in Vienna, a historical hub for commuters, shines in new splendor after extensive renovation work. The ÖBB have invested more than 54 million euros in the project to improve accessibility and to facilitate accessibility. A bright and spacious entrance hall is now expecting passengers where the historic clock of the former station is prominently exhibited.

The modernization measures included the installation of almost 4,000 m² glass and ceiling cladding and 5,000 m² natural stone coverings to create an inviting ambience. In addition, two new entrances to Nordbergstrasse and Althanstrasse were built, which facilitate access to the track hall. This has successfully completed the renovation of the train station.
