With over 550,000 travelers passing through daily, Hamburg’s main station is the busiest passenger railway station in Germany, according to its website.
The station, which opened in 1906, is just a short walk from the city center and features 75 shops and restaurants.
In February, one person was seriously injured in a stabbing at Berlin’s Holocaust memorial near the U.S. embassy.
On Wednesday, Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, was charged with killing two Israeli Embassy staffers during a shooting at an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee in Washington, D.C.
