Old Jinan stations
The predecessor of the current station was constructed in 1912. Serving the
Jinpu Railway (Reorganised as part of
Beijing-Shanghai Railway in 2007), it was designed by German architect Hermann Fischer. It was controversially demolished and rebuilt in 1992. Between 1915 and 1937, Jinan was home to another railway station of the same name, which served as the western terminus for the
Jiaoji Railway, the station building of which is still extant and has since turned into a museum.
