1886-91 von dem Architekten Hubert Stier aus Hannover an Stelle des so genannten Hannoverschen Bahnhofs von 1847 errichtet. Zeittypisch als Durchgangsbahnhof mit hochgelegten Gleiskörpern angelegt und mit einer kühnen Stahl-Glaskonstruktion überspannt. Die offen gezeigte Ingenieursleistung der Bahnsteighalle steht in Kontrast zum Empfangsgebäude im Rundbogenstil mit Renaissance-Motiven. 1998-2001 grundlegende Sanierung und Ausbau der Fußgängerverbindung zwischen Innenstadt und Bürgerweide.

Built from 1886-91 by the architect Hubert Stier from Hanover on the site of the so-called Hannoverscher Bahnhof from 1847. It displays typical features of through stations with high platforms and enclosed by a bold steel-glass construction. The feat of engineering openly displayed in the platform hall contrasts with the reception area with its round-arched style and renaissance motifs. The building was completely refurbished in 1998-2001 and a pedestrian causeway extended between the inner city and Bürgerweide.
