## Resource

Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof, opened in 2006 as a bold symbol of reunified Germany, stands where the Berlin Wall once stood—transforming history into a soaring steel-and-glass “cathedral of transport.” Designed to unite the city’s fractured rail network, it faced wartime relics and tight deadlines, even sparking legal battles over design changes. Despite controversy, it now handles 1,800 trains and 300,000 daily passengers, blending commerce, culture, and connection into a dazzling urban heartbeat that lights up Berlin night after night.
