The Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin follows plans Friedrich Neuhaus drew in 1846 and 1847. Josef Paul Kleihues refurbished it from 1990 to 1996. The article names no client for the station. The text gives 1846 and 1847 for construction, while the infobox lists 1996, which matches the museum's opening.
The article calls the style late neoclassical and names stone for the facade. The museum covers about 108,000 square feet (10,000 square meters). The train shed was removed in the 1880s.
The building became the Royal Museum of Building and Transport in 1906, was bombed in 1944 and passed into Western hands in 1984. The Flick collection was shown from 2004, and the loan ended after 2020 demolition plans for the Rieckhallen. The federal government bought the building in 2022 for €66 million. It is the Museum für Gegenwart. The article gives no hours.
