It is situated well to the south of the city centre, to which it is linked by tram. The station was opened in 1886 by the ''Deutsch-Nordischer Lloyd'', operating a combined railway/ferry line to Nykøbing Falster in Denmark. The Hauptbahnhof was expanded in 1913 and 1922, but was heavily damaged in World War II. The importance of the traditional route to Hamburg and Copenhagen diminished after the post-WWII division of Germany, with long-distance services instead focusing on cities within the German Democratic Republic. Electrification reached the station in 1985. After German reunification, the station was extensively modernised. == History == Today's station was opened in 1886 by the ''Deutsch-Nordische-Lloyd'' (German-Nordic-Lloyd) Railway Company as the ''Lloyd-Bahnhof'' (“station of the Lloyd Railway”). The company operated the Lloyd Railway on the Neustrelitz–Rostock–Warnemünde route and the subsequent mail steamer connection to Nykøbing Falster. In 1894, the Lloyd Railway was acquired by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway (''Großherzoglich Mecklenburgische Friedrich-Franz-Eisenbahn'', MFFE), which already owned a large station in Rostock. The parallel operation of passenger and freight traffic proved to be inefficient. In 1896, the station of the Lloyd Railway was assigned to handle most of the movement of passengers and was converted into the ''Central-Bahnhof'' (central station) and after the turn of the 20th century it was renamed Rostock Hauptbahnhof (main station). With the establishment of the train ferry between Warnemünde and Gedser in 1903, long-distance express trains between Berlin and Copenhagen stopped at the station. After the reconstruction of the approach of the line towards Stralsund, trains to and from Stralsund no longer stopped at the station of the Friedrich-Franz Railway, which subsequently became the Rostock freight yard. In 1913, station the entrance hall was redeveloped with Art Nouveau elements and small balustrades to a design by Paul Korff. The platform facilities were extended in 1922 to include two platform tracks and the station subway was extended accordingly. The station was damaged by bombing in the Second World War. There was a temporary reconstruction. The importance of Rostock and the station increased as a result of the division of Germany. Passenger numbers rose sharply, especially after the establishment of new industrial enterprises and residential areas in the north-west of the city. The importance of north–south long-distance connections to Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin also grew. Direct trains were established to Prague and Budapest. Rostock’s "traditional" long-distance connections to Hamburg and Copenhagen were very limited after the division of German in 1949. Improvisation was required for the expansion of the station, while avoiding another move in its location. More platforms were built to cope with the increasing ridership. An exit was built on the station subway towards the south of the city. The station was connected to the electrified network of Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1985. There was a shift of traffic flows with the reunification of Germany. On the one hand, traffic moved from the railways to the road and, on the other hand, the importance of connections to Hamburg and Kiel (via Lübeck) grew strongly. The direct long-distance connections to Dresden, Magdeburg and Leipzig were abandoned up to the mid-1990s and the connection to Copenhagen was also abandoned with the closing of the rail ferry away to Gedser. The Rostock–Berlin connection became a regional service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rostock Hauptbahnhof」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
