Train station, Gersthofen

Gersthofen station is on the main line from Augsburg via Donauwörth to Nuremberg. From here, Augsburg main station can be reached in five minutes. The expansion is part of a forward-looking transport concept for the region with the aim of getting commuters to switch from cars to trains.

The core of the project is the railway overpass for pedestrians with new sidewalks, cycle paths and bus stops. With the installation of elevators and the elevation of the platforms, Gersthofen station is the first completely barrier-free station on the Augsburg Donauwörth line.

But that's not all. The conversion of the train station supports local biodiversity. Sustainable and climate-friendly design of green areas, the integration of a photovoltaic system and green roofs of the bus stops contribute to the station playing a positive role in climate protection and the preservation of biodiversity.

For the illuminated handrails, the Deutsche Bahn certified light line OHR1 4020 was used, with the beam angle selected to highlight the quality of the exposed concrete whilst ensuring no compromises were made on safety. By integrating the lighting into the handrail, the vertical surfaces remain unaltered and form a visually homogeneous unit. For the illuminated bicycle racks on the forecourt, LEDLUX LH luminaires were integrated as a bespoke solution into NoLimit surface-mounted profiles to visually adapt the steel structure to the DB-listed facade profile.
