Østbanehallen

Built in 1854 and extended in 1882, Østbanestasjonen was the station for trains to Eidsvoll and Eastern Norway. When adjacent Oslo Sentralstajon was opened in 1981 Østbanehallen was repurposed and now houses shops and cafés/restaurants.

Als Bahnhofshalle schon interessant, nach der Umwidmung noch mehr - finde ich.

Da möchte ich doch gleich ein Pendant dazu bringen, eine Markthalle am Hafen in Helsinki
Ist nur ein bißchen kleiner ; )

Schönen Dank, Volker! Ja, das haben sie gut gemacht und die schöne Deckenkonstruktion kommt zur Geltung. Der Hauptbahnhof dagegen ist Betonbrutalismus pur;-)

Dann lass mal Helsinki sehen:-)

Danke vielmals, Jean-Paul! Diese alten Bahnhofshallen sind einfach schön und hier haben sie gut umgebaut, ohne die Sichtachsen zu zerstören.

At least the building survives unlike so many of our old splendid big railway stations. A great usage here and well shared.

HBM, enjoy the week. Herb

Ja, da denkt man gleich an eine Bahnhofshalle.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Christa1004 ^club

Schönen Dank, Christa! Ich finde es immer schade, wie die Bahn bei uns solche schönen Hallen abreißt oder verunstaltet. Das machen die Skandinavier besser.

A shopper's paradise then. Architecturally lovely though. UK stations are not noted for their beauty. ;-))

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks very much, Amelia! The shops here are rather discreet, in front of the new station there's a big shopping centre on several floors;-) But you can use the side entrance and avoid the shops if you want take a train:-)

A nicely composed and perfectly exposed interior shot. It looks very up-market there Gudrun. The overhead canopy is beautiful. Such a great use for the old station.

I like the images in the PiPs as well. Both very well captured..!!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks a lot, Keith! Nearly all Norwegian shops look upmarket, it's a wealthy country with very stiff prices (VAT is high) and matching incomes.

Eine sehr interessante und passende Umwidmung. So entsteht ein schöner Kontrast zur neuen Nutzung. Prima ausgerichtet und ansprechend gezeigt.

Ja, bei diesem Namen könnte man es vermuten, dass die Züge in den Osten von Norwegen gefahren sind. Naja, jetzt hat sich das erledigt und es gibt eine neue und sinnvolle Nutzung für diesen Bahnhof. Gut gemacht!

Herzlichen Dank, Edna! Der neue Hauptbahnhof ist direkt daneben - mit angeschlossenem Mega-Einkaufszentrum;-)
