The railway station in the city of Lingen, Emsland, is undergoing a complete renovation. The aim is to restore the exterior of the historic building to its original 1856 appearance. During the two-year construction period, passengers will have access to all the usual station facilities in a mobile room solution provided by ELA Container.
On the ground floor, four ELA containers house a travel office for ticket sales, a kiosk, and a waiting area for passengers. The two-storey mobile ELA unit offers around 130 m² of usable space in total. The first floor, accessible via external stairs, contains four containers providing office space for the construction team. The interior modules are 2.5 metres wide, while the exterior ones are three metres wide, optimising the use of the available footprint.
‘We are very satisfied with the result and would like to thank ELA Container for their excellent work,’ says architect Mario Fehring from the City of Lingen (Ems) Building Construction Office. As part of a competition in the run-up, 15 architects from the region and beyond had submitted suggestions for the development of the railway station.
