The tall concrete tower on the left features the distinct red "DB" logo, representing Deutsche Bahn, Germany's national railway company.
Opened in 2006, it is the largest five-level crossing station in Europe, designed by the architecture firm gmp Architekten. There are over 50 escalators connecting various railway lines.
The two prominent multi-storey structures framing the glass entrance hall are known as "bracket" or "ironing" buildings (Bügelbauten). They span over the east-west tracks and contain extensive office space.
The station features a massive, curving glass roof construction that stretches over 300 meters long to allow daylight to flood all the internal platform levels.
