context_page_description: Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof is the main station of the city of Wolfsburg in the German state of Lower Saxony. It is on the Hanover–Berlin railway and it is the last Intercity-Express stop running east before Stendal or Berlin-Spandau.
  Fallersleben station is also located in the district of Wolfsburg-Fallersleben.
  On 25 August 2007, the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the station building, the station was officially renamed Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof. Years before signs in the city referred to it as the Hauptbahnhof.
context_section_description: Wolfsburg station is located on the line between Hanover and Berlin. Intercity-Express services run towards Hanover, Brunswick (Braunschweig) and Berlin (each are the next ICE stop). But only every second ICE on average stops in Wolfsburg. An Intercity service runs from Berlin via Wolfsburg to Amsterdam or  to Munster. Wolfsburg station is connected by a Regional-Express service with Gifhorn and Hanover and by another line to Brunswick and Hildesheim. In addition, Regionalbahn services run to Oebisfelde and Stendal.
  The first scheduled ICE stopped in Wolfsburg on 26 September 1998. The numbers of long-distance passengers has risen continuously since then. In 2004, 6,500 long-distance passengers were counted daily, in 2006 this has risen to about 7,800. In 2008, the number was 8,500 a day (another source says 10,000).
  After the station building was neglected by the city council for a long time, extensive renovations began in 2004, which were estimated to cost €1.9 million. The station received a floor designed by the French artist Daniel Buren, business premises were rebuilt and various businesses including a travel centre and a service centre for Autostadt were installed. In the spring of 2011, the station tunnel was extended to the banks of the Mittelland Canal, giving a direct connection from the city to a new waterfront development.
  The station building of Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof with its typical architecture of the 1950s is now a heritage-listed building. In 2010, a sculpture by Quinto Provenziani honouring Italian immigrants was moved to the station.
