Railway stations are the gateways to sustainable mobility systems as well as the calling cards of any city. As a meeting place, they offer a high-quality visitor experience of social and emotional significance.

Stations are the basis for successful urban and neighbourhood development.
The "station development" team creates workable studies and expert reports for the design of intermodal transport hubs, lively passenger buildings, as well as their incorporation into the urban environment. This provides forward-looking solutions that build today's focal points for tomorrow's mobility. Be it new constructions, renovations, reconstructions or expansions, the architects and experts of DB International, provide in-depth and comprehensive advice about the economic and technical variants for operational and technological optimisation as well as handling the planning of efficient and cost-effective rail stations.
We know how to preserve and accentuate the historic character of a building and incorporate it into the overall plan. We give high priority to environmental considerations from the design phase through to completion.
The requirements for barrier-free facilities are increasing both in the European Union and worldwide. Implementing these requirements is an integral part of our consulting and planning. With intelligently linked, customer-oriented amenities such as service points, first class lounges and state-of-the-art travel centres, we tailor our site-specific solutions to individual needs. This creates the ambience for a high-quality visitor experience that attracts and inspires travellers and other visitors.

Interdisciplinary collaboration between all technical areas and specialists, in conjunction with efficient project management, optimises the planning process. Our projects will be carried out while the station remains open for business, without disruptions to train services and passenger access.

However, we are not only experienced railway station planners – we are also experts in facility management for stations and railway-related buildings. Deutsche Bahn operates over 5,400 large, medium and small rail stations in Germany. We ensure a high standard of safety, service and cleanliness for travellers and other visitors – around the clock, 365 days a year.

We implement our projects with a clear focus on commercial potential, creating a timeless and sustainable railway infrastructure and real estate that is ideally equipped for both present and future requirements. We place importance not only on appropriate architecture, but also on successful operations over the entire lifecycle.

Our work is focused on the following areas
