Sarajevo Main Railway Station

The Sarajevo Central Railway Station, also known as the Glavna eljeznika stanica you Sarajevu, is a railway station in Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It is situated in the northwest part of the city, approximately 3 kilometers from the downtown area. It is close to the city part of Marijin Dvor.

1882 was the year that saw the construction of the narrow-gauge railway's train station. When it was at its busiest, one thousand people worked at the central railway depot in Bosnia, located nearby and further to the city's west.

As a result of a decision made by the Ustasha leadership in September 1941, a transport of Jewish people from Sarajevo was sent out from that location. The Jews were brought to a transfer camp in Travnik in carts used to transport cattle.

Following the conclusion of World War II, it was determined that the outdated train station should be replaced with a brand-new, functionalist structure built by Czechoslovak architects under the direction of Bedich Hacar.

Experts from Germany were also brought in to oversee the construction process. It was one of the few projects in the city at the time that was not affected by socialist realism, making it unique.

However, they could not finish their job due to the political upheaval in relations between Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. At long last, the Croatian architect Bogdan Stojkov completed the work needed to finish the new arrivals area.

In 1949, the station building reached its proper level of completion. In 1967, as part of the early electrification scheme implemented in Bosnia until 1969, it was wired for electricity.

The Sarajevo–Ploe railway is the link that connects the city to the shore of the Adriatic Sea.

It is the first country in the territory of the former Yugoslavia to be electrified at 25 kV AC, followed by Croatia and Serbia (both countries introduced electric trains in 1970).

In 1971, the original, historically significant station building was left empty and eventually demolished. The destroyed railway equipment between 1992 and 1995 was ultimately reconstructed in the late 1990s when the damage was discovered.
