Imperial Station

The Emperor’s Pavilion was built as a separate reception building for the Imperial family and their guests at the Alter Bahnhof (Old Train Station) in 1883. In parallel to the construction of the Neuer Bahnhof (New Train Station) between 1904 and 1907, presumably at the instigation of Kaiser Wilhelm II a new royal Prince’s building was also to be constructed apart from the main building beginning in 1905, which was supposed to be “in harmony with the character of the spa city” (Baeumerth, Fremde, p. 149). Architectural advisor Armin Wegner designed the building in the Renaissance Revival style. With the end of the monarchy in Germany and in many parts of Europe, the Fürstenbahnhof (Prince Train Station) lost most of its functions in 1918 and began to decay. In June 1979, the city took it over from the national railway, and the building was completely renovated by 1981.
