Deutsche Bahn renews train-shed roofs at Berlin Ostbahnhof

Since 2010, Deutsche Bahn has been renovating the two roughly 200-metre-long, heritage-listed train sheds of Berlin Ostbahnhof in several construction phases, including new glass-and-steel roof structures with about 20,000 square metres of new skylights plus steel and technical refurbishment. The federal government and Deutsche Bahn are jointly investing around EUR 180 million; the second construction phase covering the shed roofs was completed at the end of 2025. According to Deutsche Bahn, full modernization of the station, used by roughly 66,000 passengers daily, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.
