Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is the central railway station of Frankfurt. As far as railway traffic is concerned, it is the busiest railway station in Germany. With daily commuter traffic of about 350,000 passengers per day, it is the second most traveled railway station in Germany and is one of the most frequented in Europe. During the late 19th century, there were three stations connecting Frankfurt to the west, north and south. Taunus station was connecting Frankfurt to Wiesbaden, Main-Necker station and the Main Weser station and all the three stations there were located beside each other on the then Gallustor.

However, the existed positions of all three stations were impracticable to handle the ever rising traffic and to cater the situation a plan for 34 platforms station was devised and then the number further reduced to 18 platforms. In the proposed station there was a resolution for under ground handling of post and baggage and thus it necessitated the construction of station away from the city. It was in 1881, the German architect Hermann Eggert was the architect of the station design and Johann Wilhelm Schwedler was made chief engineer for the steel-related works. The new station was placed about 1 km to the west of the first three stations. The platforms were covered by three iron-and-glass halls.

On August 18, 1888, after the continuous construction of five years the   Central-Bahnhof Frankfurt was finally opened for public use. Unfortunately on a very opening day of the station a train ran over the buffer stop and the locomotive was damaged. In following years the area eastward of the new station, the Bahnhofsviertel was constructed in 1900. By the completion of Leipzig Hauptbahnhof in 1915, Frankfurt station became the largest station in Europe.

In later expansion of the station in 1924 two neoclassical halls were added on both side of the main hall and increased the number of platforms to 24. During World War II, the station building was partly damaged.  In 1956, the station became fully electrified. After a year, Europe’s then-largest signal box became operational, that was constructed in a contemporary style of the time and is now a listed building. And many changes have taken place in station from time to time.

With architectural perspective, the appearance of the station is divided into perron (track hall) and vestibule (reception hall). The parts made in 1888 are dominant in neo renaissance features. The outer two halls as added in 1924 are on the style of neoclassicism. The roof of the front hall carries a monumental statue of Atlas supporting the World on his shoulder, in this case assisted by two allegorical figures representing Iron and Steam.
