Guided Story

Imagine standing here in the late 1960s, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the Farbwerke. To your left, you can almost see the workers returning from their shifts, the air thick with the scent of paints and chemicals. Behind you is the Süwag Energie Arena, now a hub for sports and leisure, but back then, it was non-existent. This area was a hive of innovation and production. The station's architecture not only reflects the functional style of the '60s but also the pride of the industrial workers of that era. It's like the station walls whisper the stories of the people who passed through here every day.
