Klagenfurt Hauptbahnhof Klagenfurt Hauptbahnhof Klagenfurt Hauptbahnhof (German for "Klagenfurt Main station"; occasionally translated as "Klagenfurt Central Station") is the main railway station in Klagenfurt, capital of the Austrian state of Carinthia. It is an important railway junction in southern Austria. The station opened on 1 June 1863, when Klagenfurt received connection to the Southern Railway, one of the main train routes within the Austrian Empire, via the Carinthian branch line to Marburg, Styria. One year later, the line was extended to Villach Hauptbahnhof, which quickly superseded Klagenfurt as major Carinthian transportation hub with rail connections to the Brenner Railway at Franzensfeste and
Villach the Gail tributary. Situated at the western rim of the Klagenfurt basin, the municipal area stretches from the slopes of the Gailtal Alps (Mt. Dobratsch) down to Lake Ossiach in the northeast. The Villach city limits comprise the following districts and villages: In 1905 a part of the municipal area St. Martin was incorporated. In 1973 the city area was further enlarged through the incorporation of Landskron, Maria Gail and Fellach. Villach has a cool summer humid continental climate (Köppen "Dfb"). The oldest human traces found in Villach date back to the late Neolithic. Many Roman artifacts have been discovered
