Ostrava main railway station (Czech: Ostrava hlavní nádraží, abbreviated Czech: Ostrava hl.n), is a railway station in city part Ostrava-Přívoz and main train terminus of Ostrava, third biggest city in the Czech Republic.
Station is an important transport junction. All types of trains operated by Czech Railways or private transport companies RegioJet and Leo Express stops here. Station is located on a crossing of four railway lines:
First train reached the new-built station on 1 May 1847. Position on the international line Kraków–Vienna (Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway) and raise of mining industry in whole Silesia brought the station significant importance. In 1869 track to Frýdlant nad Ostravicí was connected. Because of capacity reasons, station was expanded for the first time between 1892 and 1893. Since August 1894, tram line operates transport to the centre of Moravská Ostrava. The station took the name Ostrava hlavní nádraží in 1946.[1]
In the mid-1960s resolution about a radical reconstruction of whole city part Ostrava-sever (Ostrava-North) was accomplished including a plan of the new modern station realised by architect Lubor Lacina (1967) in Brussels style (Czechoslovak design style inspired by aesthetics of Expo 58 in Brussels). Works were finished eight years later. In the front of the building a new terminus of tram, trolleybus and taxi transport was created in collaboration with Lacina's sister, sculpturer Sylvie Lacinová-Jílková. A lot of unique architectonical and interior design features disappeared after last reconstruction in 2007.
