History cannot be rewritten and time cannot be turned back. Let’s take the disappearance of Jinan’s old railway station as a painful lesson. No matter how exquisite and lifelike the reproduction of the old train station is, it is still an out-and-out fake. The greatest significance of reconstruction is to warn future generations that we have treated our history with a wrong attitude. This is our monument of shame.
Jinan Old City Development and Investment Group announced that it will invest 1.5 billion yuan to build the north square of Jinan Railway Station. On the surface, this is just a relatively ordinary construction project. According to officials, the main purpose of the project is to alleviate the increasing passenger distribution and surrounding traffic pressure at Jinan Railway Station.
In 2003, the passenger volume of Jinan Station was about 4 million, and now it has reached 13 million. The south square is narrow and cannot meet the needs of passengers. It is also surrounded by high-rise buildings and roads, making it impossible to expand. There must be a new passenger terminal. The project itself is actually very ordinary, but it is worth noting that the project plans to rebuild the old Jinan Railway Station that was demolished in 1992 in the North Square.

Reference materials: Baidu Encyclopedia-Jinan Station Why was the old Jinan Railway Station demolished?
The old Jinan railway station, known as the first station in the Far East, was demolished and became an eternal pain for Jinan people! According to the explanation at that time, the main reason for being demolished was: with the repeated increase in passenger traffic, the old railway station could no longer meet the demand for passenger transportation and had to be renovated and expanded. Of course, this required normal procedures. In the end, Jinan Railway Bureau and Economic South City agreed and submitted the plan to the Ministry of Railways. After all the green lights were given, demolition began!
Of course, one of the most popular jokes among the people is: the leader of an important non-railway system said, what’s so good about that train station in Jinan? The roof looks like a German soldier’s helmet. When you see this roof It reminds me of Jinan's colonial history
Nowadays, the people blame leaders named
In fact, it really has little to do with the leader named X. Because the local government has no jurisdiction over matters related to the railway.
The demolition of the old railway station was limited to the limitations of the historical period: reform and establishment of the new and the old must be abolished, the pace of development should be accelerated, and a brand new city should be built. The original intention is good and the procedures are complete.
Nostalgia is a sign of maturity. Today's society is nostalgic for old train stations, which is also a sign of maturity. However, I was not aware of some of the stupid things I did when I was young.
History is a bright mirror! While illuminating society, you also illuminate yourself.
Being arbitrary and arbitrary has caused huge losses to the people of Jinan and the city of Jinan.
The demolition of Jinan’s old railway station shocked the Chinese people and the world. The old railway station is not only a witness to history, but also a famous design and a manifestation of human civilization.
The government should establish an investigation and accountability mechanism to completely eradicate erroneous decisions and selfish interests. There are laws to follow and violations of the law will be punished!
Jinan Old Railway Station refers to the "Jinan-Puzhou Railway Jinan Station". It is a typical German-style station building designed by the famous German architect Hermann Fischer at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It was once the largest railway station in Asia. It was included in the architecture textbooks of Tsinghua University and Tongji, and was listed as the first stop in the Far East in "Far East Travel" published by West Germany after the war.
At that time, it was only a few hundred meters away from the Jiaoji Railway Station (now the public building of Jinan Railway Bureau) designed by the Germans in the early 20th century. Two large-scale European-style stations coexist in close proximity, which is extremely rare in Chinese big cities. Starting in March 1992, despite strong opposition from citizens and scholars, Jinan City, Shandong Province and the railway department implemented the demolition plan for the old station.
No matter how good it is, it is still the product of China's invasion and slavery. Jinan people should not be so mean. It is a pity to demolish it, but it has been demolished for many years, and it is demolished. There is nothing to worry about! If you have this free time to worry about, it is better to do a good job and do more practical things that are beneficial to Jinan's economic development!
The person who decided to demolish the old Jinan Railway Station is a sinner of history! He is a sinner of old Jinan! He is a blind man who does not understand history!
Don't worry about a bunch of out-of-town hicks, it will make you look like you are seeing an old train station. It only takes one word to dismantle, so why is it so difficult to dismantle it? After the reform and opening up, the station could not meet the traffic volume. At that time, there were no developers, no commercial housing, and the government did not have the money to find another place for demolition, so it could only expand a little on the original site. A bunch of idiots will scold their mothers when they are full.
No one knows the historical and artistic value of excellent architecture. I hope nothing like this happens again. Shanghai has done a good job in protecting outstanding modern historical buildings and can learn from it.
The reason for the demolition of the old railway station is mainly that with the growth of economic life, the old railway station can no longer meet the needs of the people, and the railway department urgently needs to build a new railway station. But where will the new train station be built? Where will the old Jinan train station be built? This is a problem. Railways, when encountered in Jinan City, are different systems and are managed in sections and blocks. It is impossible for Jinan City to grant land to the Railway Bureau.
If the square north of Jinan Railway Station had been granted to the Railway Bureau to build a new railway station, the old railway station would not have to be demolished. But is this possible? The old railway station collapsed due to different management systems! Although it is not the mayor or the deputy governor who has the final say on the demolition of the old railway station. However, they must have never said that they would retain the old Jinan Railway Station. Some accounts are unfairly placed on them. But if they don’t take responsibility, who will?
In the 1970s, when I was a soldier in a certain unit of the Jinan Military Region, I went to Jinan Railway Station twice. I clearly remember that the railway station was a foreign-style building and it looked quite good-looking. Now I know that the building is called a Gothic building in the industry, and I also know that it was left behind when Germany occupied Jinan, Shandong Province. It is more than a hundred years old. I later heard that it was demolished. It is a pity that no matter who built it, it still has considerable research value and certain artistic value when it is preserved. It could be regarded as a landmark building in Jinan City at that time. Nowadays, the new train station built on the original site may be larger than the old station, but it has no characteristics. In this case, why should the old antique railway station be demolished in the first place? Although I was not an insider at the time, I believe there must be a certain reason for this. Probably the decision-makers at the time had extreme ideas and believed that foreign buildings were not as good as Chinese buildings and needed to be demolished and built new. This is called destroying the old and building new ones. Another possibility was that they wanted to raise the Jinan Railway Station in the provincial capital to a higher level and ignored the importance of cultural relics protection. In addition, experts and scholars in relevant fields may not be solicited to conduct sufficient demonstration. I think the main reason may be related to this. Therefore, this is a typical and profound lesson, and it also serves as a wake-up call to avoid such problems from happening again in the future.
