History
Osnabrück Hauptbahnhof was ceremoniously opened as the “Central Station” by German Emperor Wilhelm II on 24 April 1895.[5] The new station was situated where the Hamburg-Venlo railway crossed the Hanoverian Western Railway at right angles with a height difference of 5.85 m (19.2 ft), which was why the design of a station at two levels was chosen.[6] The new station replaced the two separate previous stations, the Hanoverian station located on the Hanoverian Western Railway, and the Bremen station located on the Hamburg-Venlo railway line.
