The renewal of station's areas
The so called 'Bahnhofsoffensive' of the Austrian Federal
Railways aims at the renewal of stations and their surroundings;
223 Million EUR are forseen for 20 mayor stations which altogether
serve 45% of the Austrian-wide 82 Million passengers/year.

Graz
(240,976 inhabitants)
The main station of Graz has already been renewed in the
last years; next changes regard the station square and the
construction of a new terminal in order to shurtcut the connections
between trains, tram, autobus and passengers arriving by car
(park&ride, kiss&ride).
Renewal done in 1991/1992
The new terminal is organised on two floors

Innsbruck
(111,752 inhabitants)
The old Innsbruck station has been constructed immediately
after WWII; its concept became totally out of time. So a complete
new, partly transparent building was planned within the Bahnhofsoffensive.

Klagenfurt
(91,141 inhabitants)
The Klagenfurt railway station will be upgraded
mainly in terms of intern accessibility (elevators, escalators)
while there won't be any changes in the operational area.
2,600 m² should be occupied by new offices, the existing
shopping zone will also be enhanced by stores and restaurants.

Linz
(183,504 inhabitants)
The station in Linz is the biggest project of the program
Bahnhofsoffensive outside Vienna. It may not be considered
as a single project, but a chain of interventions: the railway
station itself (Linz Hauptbahnhof, no.1); the service center
of the Region (Landesdienstleistungszentrum, no.2); the tram
station (Straßenbahnunterfahrung, no.3); the office
tower (Büroturm Linz – ein Standort mit Weitblick,
no.4); the bus terminal (Busterminal, no.5); and the new street
connection (Kärntnerstraße, no.6).
The renovation actions (1-6)
The old station building will be totally replaced by a new
one designed by Holzbauer. The office tower will create offices
for 800 people on 16,000 m² (on 26 floors).

Most important for the whole public transport system in Linz
will be the short and convenient interchange between the different
means of transport (trains, tram, regional and local autobus)
which sould be garantueed through two new terminals.
