From 1933, Adolf Hitler directed Hermann Alker to create new plans for rebuilding the station. A new station would be built between Laim and Pasing stations and the old railway tracks would be replaced by a boulevard from Karlsplatz to the new station. In addition, a U-Bahn was planned from the new station to the central city under the boulevard. Alkers presented his plans but his client was not satisfied, as the station building would not look impressive at the end of the 120 metre wide boulevard. In 1938, Hermann Giesler, solved the problem by turning the station to a 45-degree angle to the road. He planned a huge domed building with a height of 136 metres and a diameter of 265 metres. In May 1942, Deutsche Reichsbahn began on Hitler's instruction to develop plans for his "Breitspurbahn" extreme broad-gauge railway concept, that would connect the whole of Europe. This was planned to have a track gauge of three metres with a structure gauge of eight by eight metres. Munich would be on broad gauge lines between Berlin and Munich and between Paris and Vienna. The ten standard gauge tracks and the four broad gauge tracks would be laid in a tunnel seven metres below the surface. These plans were not realised, however.
