Zielona Góra Główna

Zielona Góra Główna is a key railway hub located in the central part of Zielona Góra. It handles the largest number of PKP Intercity and Polregio trains in the region, including international connections. The station was established in 1871, and its history is closely tied to the development of the city and the railway network in the area. After World War II, due to a dynamic increase in the population, the station gained a new hall, which replaced the original 19th-century building. The new station building, designed in the typical red-brick railway architecture style, was ceremoniously opened in 1902. It featured two floors, with ticket counters, a waiting room, and food service outlets on the ground floor, and offices on the first floor. The interior had a functional layout, and its façade was richly decorated with ceramic and brick details. Over time, the station underwent numerous upgrades, including a comprehensive renovation between 2004 and 2012, and platform modernizations from 2015 to 2018, which included the installation of a dynamic passenger information system and elevators for people with disabilities. The station serves domestic and regional connections and is well-integrated with the city's transport network, ensuring easy access to rail services. Throughout its history, Zielona Góra Główna has not only served transportation purposes but has also evolved into a symbol of communication progress in the region, reflecting architectural and social changes. Interestingly, before the war, the city had a second station—Zielona Góra-Górne Miasto—which now serves as a residential tenement building. Modernized to contemporary standards, Zielona Góra Główna remains a vital element of the city's transport and architectural infrastructure.
