It's today, isn't it. Looks very impressive. Lots of glass. Imaginatively called 'Hauptbahnhof'
Here are some pictures of the new station from the BBC website .
Well for 24 hours at least it will probably be the only building in Berlin that isn't covered in graffiti.
Unbelievable

I *heard* that one of the stabbing victims is allegedly HIV positive, thus causing exposure concerns for the other victims. Haven't seen it in writing though.

A knife-wielding German teenager attacked people leaving a gala ceremony to dedicate Berlin's new central rail station shortly before midnight on Friday, injuring 26 before being arrested, police said.

FYI: HIV exposure confirmed
QUOTE
Because one victim had the deadly HIV virus that causes AIDS, which can be spread via blood, police urged all those injured and released, as well as rescue workers who assisted the wounded, to report to authorities for urgent blood tests.
I wonder if it was a German teen or rather a Turkish teen.. I find it highly uncharacteristic of a German teen from a 'good' family.. and that he was from Neuköln.
A friend of a friend was a stabbing victim, which brings it too close to home for me.. very disturbing.
