The history of Salzburg's main railway station dates back to the 19th century. Its completion in 1860 marked an important milestone in Salzburg's transport system with its connection to the international railway network. Designed as a double-track through station, the main railway station was converted into an island station between 1907 and 1909. Parts of the station were destroyed during World War II and rebuilt after the end of the war. This included the Marble Hall, the listed replica of which was dismantled during the general refurbishment in 2009 - 2014 and rebuilt in the Abt-Nikolaus-Saal at Augustiner Bräu Mülln. The steel structure of the centre platform and the reception hall are two historical elements which have been preserved.
