New station building in Bitterfeld: Future in green and accessibility!

Bitterfeld, Deutschland - On July 16, 2025, the new station building in Bitterfeld was ceremoniously opened. Infrastructure Minister Lydia Hüskens (FDP) emphasized the investments in the mobility of the future at the opening ceremony and emphasized the importance of sophisticated, citizenship planning. This new building wrote another chapter in the modernization of transport infrastructure in Germany.

The new building is not only barrier -free, but also climate -friendly and is one of the most sustainable station buildings in the country. The facade, which consists of recycled aluminum, is inspired by the regional cabbage industry and the Bitterfeld amber, thus forming a harmonious connection to the history of the city. A photovoltaic system on the green roof ensures the power supply of the building and efficiently uses solar energy. The heating is via district heating, which further reduces the ecological footprint of the station.

modern amenities for travelers

The new reception building is designed to meet the requirements of modern travel. Institutions such as a travel center, a bakery with a café, a magazine shop as well as rooms for the federal police and the station mission are planned. Free WiFi, public and barrier -free toilets as well as ticket machines and packing stations complete the offer. All in all, the train station offers a location quality that meets the increasing requirements for travel comfort and service.

The financing of around 23 million euros for the new building was ensured by the investment law for coal regions and funds from the federal, state, city and train. This project is the first to be completed as part of the Federal Government's Structural Strengthening Act. In addition, the train station is used daily by around 7,000 people. Bitterfeld acts as an important hub in regional traffic and is also an important station for ICE trains that are traveling towards Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg.

comprehensive renovation plans

The innovations affect not only the building itself, but also the surroundings. Extensive renovation work is planned for the next few years, which also include the forecourt with a new central bus station (ZOB) as well as additional bicycle and car parking spaces. The modernization of the platforms and passenger underpass is planned to meet the future needs of travelers.

Overall, this project is part of the comprehensive "1,000-train stations program", which according to the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport aims to significantly increase the attractiveness and accessibility of over 3000 traffic stations by 2030. With a total volume of around 5 billion euros, this goal is to be continued consistently in the coming years. The partnerships with countries, municipalities and Deutsche Bahn are of central importance to implement the measures sustainably and to improve the quality of stay at smaller train stations.

Overall, the new train station in Bitterfeld shows how important the modernization and sustainable design of traffic infrastructure is for the mobility of the future. For the citizens and the visitors of the city, it is to be hoped that these investments noticeably make everyday life a noticeably easier and further advance the region.
