The design of the new roofing for the Ehrenhausen railway station follows a clear functional and aesthetic language that addresses both the practical needs of commuters and the integration into the surrounding landscape. The two station canopies are designed as elegant flying roofs in glulam construction, whose structural steel supports provide a light, contrasting structure. The two roofs gently guide visitors from the platforms to the forecourt. The clear geometric form with its unobtrusive but striking appearance creates a harmonious transition between the railway traffic strip and the landscaped surroundings with Ehrenhausen Castle. The station roofs form an architectural frame that guides the attention to the castle and thus strengthens the visual connection between public transport and the historic surroundings.
The forecourt is organised so that commuters can reach their public transport quickly and safely both when arriving at and leaving the station. The combination of functional aspects and aesthetic qualities ensures that the station is not only perceived as a transport hub, but also as a public space that offers commuters a comfortable journey.
The natural materials such as wood and the stone paving of the forecourt blend subtly into the region. For commuters, the design offers both functional and aesthetic benefits: The generous canopies offer protection from the weather, while the clearly structured arrangement of the parking spaces for bicycles, mopeds, buses and taxis ensures efficient traffic routing.
