Hauptbahnhof to the Luminale 2004
The Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (Central Train Station) was built for 18 tracks from 1885 to 1888. From 1912 to 1924, the three-nave reception building made of sand stone was expanded by two exterior naves to a total of 24 tracks. As the largest passenger train station in Germany with 350,000 travellers daily, it is also an intersection point for public metropolitan and suburban commuter railway systems in the Rhein-Main area.
For Luminale fair 2004, the exterior façade of the reception hall was lighted up every evening.

Note:
Please note Java or QuickTime is being required in order to show the 360°-Panorama-Views. Usually Java is already part of the operating system of a modern PC. We recommend you to use QuickTime which is supplied as part of modern PCs too as it is cost-free and reaches the highest multi-medial efficiency.
The recommended screen resolution should be 1024x768. The transmission of data can be accelerated by using a hyper internet connection with DSL or dual-ISDN (clustered channels).
Additional information for the use of QuickTime or Java.
The interactive 360°-Panorama-Views are captures of moments taken from a permanent position. As a user you might take free views moving to all directions around this position. You only need to move the pointer of your mouse to the requested position within the 360°-Panorama-View while keeping the left button pressed.
Most of the 360°-Panorama-Views are featuring a kind of surround sound to give you the impression of being "right there in place".
So, just turn on your sound system a little bit louder and enjoy impressive experiences while viewing.
