Hamburg Station

Hamburg Station – the building of the railway station in Berlin’s Moabit district, currently a branch of the New National Gallery – Museum of Modernity.nThe building in the style of classicism for the main station of the Berlin-Hamburg railway was built in 1846-1847 by the project of its director Friedrich Neuhaus and architect Ferdinand Wilhelm Holz. It is the only dead-end station of its time in Berlin and one of Germany’s oldest railway buildings, but it is no longer used as a station.nIn the mid-1980s, the Berlin construction magnate Erich Marx offered his private art collection to the city. In 1987, the Senate of West Berlin decided to establish a museum of modern art in the building of the former station. In November 1996, the Museum of Modernity solemnly opened.
