Yes, it's a major location for train travel in this part of Germany, connecting to east-west and north-south lines. About 450 trains are said to visit each day, with 180,000 people. So it's always crowded. No wonder the inside is something of a shopping mall; there's a giant bookstore right inside the front door.
As you'd expect, this was a target for bombers at the end of World War II, and the station took some heavy damage. Authorities have been rebuilding the place ever since, making all sorts of improvements as they've gone along. But the architectural style, which dates back to 1900 or so, remains.
