Odense station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odense Station (Danish: Odense Banegård Center) is the main railway station of the city of Odense, Denmark. Situated as a major station on the Copenhagen–Fredericia/Taulov line, it is also a terminus for Svendborgbanen.
The current station building is Odense's third, having opened in 1996.[1] The first one, now demolished, opened in 1865 with the rest of the railway line across Funen (Dronning Louises Jernbane), replaced in 1914 by the still-existing building drawn by Heinrich Wenck.[2][3]
Historically, Odense station has been the central hub of railways on Funen, being the terminus for a handful of now closed railways:[4]
- Nordfyenske Jernbane (NFJ, 1882–1966)
- Odense–Kerteminde–Martofte Jernbane (OKMJ, 1900–1966)
- Odense–Nørre Broby–Fåborg Jernbane (ONFJ, 1906–1954)
- Nordvestfyenske Jernbane (OMB, 1911–1966)
The Danish Railway Museum is located in the roundhouse immediately north of Odense station.
