circa 1964–1965Railway Station
A Citroën on the bare forecourt of the new station
The new railway station stands across a wide forecourt of bare, weed-grown ground that has not yet been paved or planted. Its glazed central hall is roofed by a folded concrete sawtooth, a line recalling the rooflines of Pannonian houses, with lower flat roofed wings to either side and a shallow canopy running along the front at ground level. Tall multi-headed lamp standards rise from the open ground. A Citroën 2CV crosses the foreground with two people aboard, buses and cars stand along the far kerb at the left, and a long rack of bicycles fills the pavement before the entrance. The station opened on 31 May 1964 to a design by Imre Farkas with Milan Matović, replacing the line and the terminus that had served the city from 1883.
About this place
The present station, opened on 31 May 1964 to a design by Imre Farkas and Milan Matović, standing north of the centre on the line the railway was moved to as the city grew. Its sawtooth roof recalls the rooflines of Pannonian houses. On 1 November 2024 the concrete canopy above its entrance collapsed, killing 16 people. This is a different building on a different site from the station of 1882, which stood where the Liman market is now. The pin is the OpenStreetMap position of the station building.
