Berlin Hauptbahnhof marks 20 years as symbol of German reunification

Berlin's central train station, Hauptbahnhof, was inaugurated in 2006 as a modern glass-and-steel transport hub designed to physically and symbolically reconnect the city after German reunification. The station, designed by architect Meinhard von Gerkan, serves as a key node in Germany's rail network and stands as a monument to reunification, despite a legal dispute over design alterations.
