History
The construction of the Main Railway Station in Olsztyn was completed on December 1, 1872. In 1907, a tram connection opened connecting the station with the city centre. In 1914, the station was renamed to Allenstein Hbf; previously, it was only called Allenstein.[3] The old tram lines were closed in 1967. In 2015, a new tram line was opened.
During World War II, the station burned down. The reconstruction and modernisation of the destroyed building was completed in 1948, the new station served the city for twenty years, after which it was dismantled and replaced by a new building in 1971.[4]
In August of 2022, the station building dating from 1971 was demolished for the beginning of the construction of a new station building and new platforms.[5][6] The grand opening of the new station was held on 21 February 2025.[7]
