Wien Mitte railway station


Wien Mitte is a rail and U-Bahn station in Vienna, close to the city centre. It is the city terminus of Vienna's City Airport Train, which provides non-stop service to Vienna International Airport. The station is a major hub for S-Bahn suburban trains, with little service by Inter-City trains. The station is connected to the Mitte / Landstraße U-Bahn station.

History

The first station to occupy this site was called Hauptzollamt and opened in the 1850s. It was rebuilt between 1899 and 1901 to connect with the Stadtbahn, which ran below ground. When the S-Bahn opened in 1962, this station was renamed Landstraße, which remains the name of the U-Bahn portion. The main portion of the station was renamed Wien Mitte after it became a stop for international trains in 1975 due to construction at the Wien Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof. Most of the present station was constructed between 2007 and 2013. The U-Bahn uses the facilities of the former S-Bahn station.
