Over the course of several decades, three stations were named Muchobor or Mochbern, station in Muchobor Wielki is now Wrocław Zachodni, and Gądów is now Wrocław Gądów. Within the station, there is the Local Control Centre launched in 2011. The station is popular due to the fact that it is located in an office district, also called Mordor.[1]
In 2021, Wrocław Muchobór station was renovated with two new elevated platforms, improved underpasses, and four elevators to enhance accessibility. The project included weather-protected benches, bicycle racks, and better drainage to prevent flooding. The upgrade costed 16 million Polish złoty.[2]
