Odense Station (Danish: Odense Banegård Center) is the main railway station serving the city of Odense, Denmark.

Contents

Situated as a major station on the Copenhagen–Fredericia/Taulov line, it is also the terminus of the Svendborgbanen railway line between Odense and Svendborg. The first station in Odense, now demolished, opened in 1865 as the railway line across the island of Funen was completed. The current station building opened in 1995.

History

The current station building is Odense's third, having opened on 15 September 1995. The first one, now demolished, opened in 1865 with the rest of the railway line across Funen (Dronning Louises Jernbane), replaced in 1914 by the still-existing building drawn by Heinrich Wenck.

Historically, Odense station has been the central hub of railways on Funen, being the terminus for a handful of now closed railways:

  • Nordfyenske Jernbane (NFJ, 1882–1966)
  • Odense–Kerteminde–Martofte Jernbane (OKMJ, 1900–1966)
  • Odense–Nørre Broby–Fåborg Jernbane (ONFJ, 1906–1954)
  • Nordvestfyenske Jernbane (OMB, 1911–1966)
  • Services

    The stations offers international services to Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Hamburg (Germany), Stockholm (Sweden) and Basel (Switzerland/France).
