Brno-Královo Pole is a railway station in Královo Pole district of Brno in the Czech Republic. It lies on the line Brno–Havlíčkův Brod.

History

The original Královo Pole station was located near current Sportovní street, about 700 m to the south-east. I was opened in 1885 as a part of Brno-Tišnov line.[1]

In 1938, construction of a new fast train line between Brno and Havlíčkův Brod started. Its operation started on 20th December 1953 and a new station on it, was opened in 1952.[2][3]

The station building and other other parts of the original station were demolished in the second half of 1980s, during the construction of the Svitavy radial road, running near the tracks.[4]

In 1954, a new passenger hall was opened at the new station.[5] In the 1980, an elevated road called Svitavy radial road was built in front of the station.[6]

In 2010, a completely new station building was drafted.[5]

Správa železnic has been prepairing a modernization of the station building and replacing the old one by a new, two-flor.[7][8][9]

As a part of reconstruction, tracks are planned to be repaired, an underpass in direction to Myslínova street should be built, and the 1st track between Brno-Maloměřice–Kuřim should be renewed.[10]

The reconstruction was ceremonially started in December 2023.[11]

In May 2024, station buildings were demolished.[12]
