The original structure. The entrance gate, made in the form of an arch, looks very nice. A special charm is created by the green vegetation wrapping around the walls of the gate.

The station is pedestrian, including GPS guided tours. The Triumphal Arch, also called the Victory Gate, is modeled after the arch of Emperor Constantine in Rome. It was designed to serve as the main entrance to the city and glorify the victories of the Bavarian army, instead, the pompous structure gave rise to a wave of offensive jokes, because there was not a single significant victory or battle won on the account of the Bavarian army, and it was not by chance that the fighting Romans were placed on the rectangular bas-reliefs of the arch. Later, German troops returning from the war with France marched under them, detachments of the Bavarian Red Army marched, and the Nazis staged a torchlight procession. During the Second World War, the arch was severely damaged by bombing and they wanted to demolish it altogether, but changed their mind and restored it, leaving some of the damage for clarity. They did not restore the inscription "To the Bavarian heroes", instead a new one appeared "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, crying out for peace", which should remind current generations that any war brings not only laurels to the winners, but also suffering and destruction.
