I noticed a similar restoration of Strasbourg's Train Station.

They kept the old building, complete with bullet holes from the Second World War, restoring some of the traditional lounges, yet modernized the entire station including a glass dome that encases it.

Truly amazing!

So, I loved how you've captured the delicate balance between modernization and preserving history.

It's fascinating how Leipzig Hauptbahnhof can seamlessly blend the past and present, offering a space that’s both functional and a living museum of railway history.

It's another reminder that some places don’t need to choose between progress and tradition, they can have both.

Thanks for sharing this unique perspective on another historic European station!
