History

In connection with Hamburg IBA 2013 (Internationale Bauausstellung), the station was substantially renovated, with a new bridge, entrance and platform roof.[6]

gollark: ```To be fair, when Obi-wan asked Han if the Falcon was a fast ship, he wasn't interested in how well it would perform in a drag race. He was interested in getting to Alderaan quickly because he had an urgent message to deliver. The Kessel Run being made in 12 parsecs demonstrates that the Falcon is capable of shaving off a significant amount of distance (and therefore, more than likely, time) travelled in Hyperspace, which was exactly what Obi-wan and Luke needed at the time.```
