Station 6

The standardized class IV station building was constructed as part of the Northern State Railway Prague-Dresden around 1850 and subsequently expanded with extensions in 1877 and 1914. Its author was the architect of railway buildings Anton Jüngling. Since 2013, the building has been a cultural monument, but it has been out of operation since 2014. It is an elongated building with a two-story central section and side single-story wings. Similar type stations were built elsewhere, some of which still serve their purpose.
The main idea of the reconstruction was the thorough connection of all main spaces of the house, the removal of non-original partitions, and the opening of spaces that allow for versatile uses. The main compositional principle is the restoration of the cross-axis of the house. The entire building was renovated – façades, roof, openings, wooden elements, and surrounding paved areas. Due to long-term humidity, it was necessary to perform deep cleaning of the masonry and eliminate wood-destroying organisms. New floors were installed in the interior, the ceiling structures were strengthened, and the roof trusses, doors, and plaster were repaired. The richly carved wooden porch was carefully restored and supplemented with the original missing parts. In the former waiting room, the valuable wooden painted ceiling was restored. The central wing is equipped with a replica of the original glazed tiles. Other floors are made of poured terrazzo, tiles, and wooden parquet. More modern, non-original window fillings were replaced with replicas in existing sizes, divisions, and profiles based on the pattern of the original windows from the late 19th century. The colors of the wooden elements were restored based on samples taken. New elements include a bar counter and an exterior fence made of corten steel, which delineates the area of the station's land and its wooden porch from the rail bed. The building will now serve as a cultural facility "Station 6". There is a bistro, a multifunctional hall, a sports area, a bicycle rental, and a gallery on the upper floor.
