Nuremberg Central Station was first built in a neo-Gothic style by the state railway from 1844 to 1847. Karl Zenger rebuilt it from April 19, 1900 to March 10, 1906, largely in Neo-Baroque style, and Bruno Paul designed the Jugendstil lounge. The article names no original architect and no client for the 1900 rebuild. The infobox gives an opening of October 1, 1844, which differs from the text's range.
The infobox lists Neo-Renaissance for the front facade, which the text does not mention. Muschelkalk stone defines the exterior, and Iris Rauh made three wall mosaics. It has 22 platforms and about 20,000 square meters of commercial space with 55 shops.
Bombing closed it on March 16, 1945, and reconstruction ran from 1945 to 1956. The station building was placed under heritage protection and reopened on June 24, 2002. Most of the building and the platforms are step-free. Deutsche Bahn owns it. The article gives no hours.
