Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof

My 1:800 LEGO model of the central station in Stuttgart, Germany, a railway terminus built in the 1920s by architects Paul Bonatz and Friedrich Eugen Scholer. It is a significant landmark of the city and an important example of the Stuttgart School. The model is fully lightable. The photo shows the view from the north.

 

You’ll notice that the model concentrates on the remaining parts of the original building and even more so places trees instead of train platforms right behind the terminal hall, as envisioned in Stuttgart 21. However, this was born more out of an aesthetic desire for a coherent model and a look towards the future rather than out of a clear political conviction for Stuttgart 21. The roof colours on the other hand are based more on the pre-renovation state of the building, simply because it brings a bit more variety into the model. In this way it’s a bit of a mix-and-match of the past and future of the building.

 

Building instructions and further details can be found on Rebrickable.
