Station reconstruction
For quite a barrier-free expansion of the station is planned.
Earlier plans
First plans involved rebuilding the station from 2008 to mid-2011 barrier-free for 12.5 million euros. Of these, Bayern should carry 2 million euros. The two island platforms, as well as the main platform should get a lift and the platform will be 5/6 connected to the so-called post bridge, which would have significantly shortened the way to the central bus station in the new center. In addition, the main platform should be increased to 76 cm and the underpass be widened.
These plans have been changed in the course of 2008, as they would have not done justice to the sometimes very high tourist foot traffic in the station, especially by participants of Danube River Cruises. This construction project was then moved to the middle of 2010 until 2012 and later canceled.
Current construction
The works on barrier-free renovation were advertised in Europe in June 2013. The ground-breaking ceremony was conducted in mid-July 2013. To be invested in the station a total of 21.5 million euros until the spring of 2017. In mid-September 2013, the measures of the second construction phase of 12.7 million euros were awarded.
In the course of the renovation is to be completely eliminated on the platform 5/6 the western platform track 6a, the eastern platform track 5a should be reduced by 80 m and also accounts for the platform there. The main platform is intended to be increased to a length of 300 m to a platform height of 55 cm, the two central platforms over a length of 400 m to 76 cm.
Special
Since 1951 the station of ÖBB and DB was shared as a single station. For this reason, there were two by a wall on the border and customs controls separate passenger subways under the tracks. Since Austria joined the EU in 1995 and the consequent elimination of controls, these tunnels were joined together and made accessible from both sides. A remaining piece of the wall of a passage bears a plaque commemorating the two policemen Klaus Georg March and Schachner, who were murdered on 11 November 1993 in the Intercity train from Linz to Passau nearby islands thing.
About the tracks is since 1975 the first " bridge post office " of Germany.
