Saarbrücken Hauptbahnhof - Saarbrücken, Germany - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

"Saarbrücken's main station was opened on November 16, 1852 as the St. Johann-Saarbrücken station on the border between Malstatt and St. Johann a. d. Saar. The present-day city of Saarbrücken was not formed until 1909, when (Old) Saarbrücken, St. Johann and Malstatt-Burbach merged.

The station was located on the so-called St. Johann Railway, which came from Bexbach via Neunkirchen and continued to Stieringen to the French Eastern Railway. The 56-meter-long and 13.50-meter-wide sandstone building was located as a so-called "island building" between the two tracks, with access - novel for the time - through an underpass without crossing the tracks. The original, three-story island building had been erected on a high railroad embankment in fortress-like construction forms of the round arch style with four crenellated corner towers and a raised central pavilion flanked on the entrance side by two four-story towers."
