Station series: Wolfsburg station

Wolfsburg station is rather small, or better very small, or better tiny compared to Berlin Hauptbahnhof or the other major stations. Surprisingly the fast InterCityExpress has a stop here. The business travellers from and to the Volkswagen car plant are seemingly a good reason.
The train station is located just in front the plant. Well, EVERYTHING in Wolfsburg is located just in front of the plant.
There is not much to tell about the Wolfsburg train station besides the amazing fact that some of the ICEs are passing the station without stop...in full speed of 200 kph and more. This is always a strange experience when one of these large trains passes with full speed (and noise) just 2 meters in front of you.
