General information
Location
Walter-von-der-Vogelweide-Platz 1 9020 Klagenfurt Austria
The railway premises located in the present-day district of Sankt Ruprecht south of the city centre were not incorporated into Klagenfurt until 1938. Severely damaged by strategic bombing during World War II the station had to be demolished and completely rebuilt. The reception hall was adorned with a large fresco, created by the local artist Giselbert Hoke (1927–2015) in the style of Pablo Picasso and completed in 1956. The station was extensively renovated from 2002 until November 2015.[3]
Beside long-distance traffic, Klagenfurt is served by ÖBB Regional-Express and Regionalbahn trains. It is also a railway hub of the Carinthian S-Bahn network.
