Magdeburg Rothensee

Linz Central

Introduction

Linz Train Station is a very easy to use station.

There is only one floor on the platform, but in order to reach stations 2 - 12 (used by most trains), you need to use one of the two passenger passages below the track.

Arrived by train:

When arriving by train, the entrance to the main passage is located between Zone A and Zone B (the platform is divided into zones). When arriving from Vienna/Wien, this is towards the rear of the train, so when you get off you can be behind you, but in front of the train arriving from Salzburg (and other places).

This main passage has a lift and an escalator, but there is another passage in the C / D area, accessible through stairs and escalators. When arriving by train, it may be the nearest exit / Oswego, but if you want to use the elevator, you may need to walk through its entrance.

This secondary route is an alternative route from the train to the main lobby. If you use it and want to connect to the tram in the city centre, please don't board the exit you will see on the main square.

The main square has an atrium - the upper level is located on the street, so you can access the main exit, taxi station and bus station. On the lower floors, access to the platform and the ticket office, you can use the tram - Straßenbahn.

When arriving by train, if you use the main access and want to connect to the tram, the tram stop will be in front of the end of the passage - follow the instructions to the Straßenbahn. If you want to enter a taxi stand or bus stop, you can board the street directly.

Depart by train:

When departing by train, if your train departs from platform 3 - 12, please use the main access.

If you have already arrived at the station and entered from the main entrance, or by taxi or at the bus stop, you will descend to the lower floor of the main building to access this passage.

You can find out in which areas the trains and specific coaches will be found on the platform.

Magdeburg (German pronunciation: [ˈmakdəbʊɐ̯k] ; Low Saxon: Meideborg, [ˈmaˑɪdebɔɐ̯x]) is the capital city and the second largest city of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is situated on the Elbe River. Otto I, the first Holy Roman Emperor and founder of the archbishopric of Magdeburg, was buried in the town's cathedral after his death. Magdeburg's version of German town law, known as Magdeburg rights, spread throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Until 1631, Magdeburg was one of the largest and most prosperous German cities and a notable member of the Hanseatic League. Magdeburg has been destroyed twice in its history. The Catholic League sacked Magdeburg in 1631, resulting in the death of 25,000 non-combatants, the largest loss of the Thirty Years' War. Allies bombed the city in 1945, destroying much of it. Magdeburg is the site of two universities, the Otto-von-Guericke University and the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences.Magdeburg is situated on autobahn route 2, and hence is at the connection point of the East (Berlin and beyond) with the West of Europe, as well as the North and South of Germany. As a modern manufacturing center, the production of chemical products, steel, paper, and textiles are of particular economic significance, along with mechanical engineering and plant engineering, ecotechnology and life-cycle management, health management and logistics. In 2005 Magdeburg celebrated its 1200th anniversary. In June 2013 Magdeburg was hit by record breaking flooding.

Linz (, German: [ˈlɪnts]; Czech: Linec) is the third-largest city of Austria and capital and largest of the state of Upper Austria (German: Oberösterreich). It is in the north centre of Austria, approximately 30 kilometres (19 miles) south of the Czech border, on both sides of the River Danube. The population of the city is 204,846, and that of the Greater Linz conurbation is about 789,811. In 2009 Linz, together with the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, was chosen as the European Capital of Culture. Since 1 December 2014 Linz is a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities (UCCN) network as a City of Media Arts. Cities receive this title for enriching the urban lifestyle through the sponsorship and successful integration of media art and involving society in these electronic art forms. Linz is well known for the Linzer torte, which is said to be the oldest cake in the world, with its first recipe dating from 1653.
