Facade: Like Dendera temple plan: 12 + 9 + 12 = 33
5 + 5 = 10 semi-basement or garden-level windows.
2, 2, 2,,2 (8 in total) + 2,2,2,2 (8 in total) top windows.

This facade presents a classic example of late Neoclassical (Late Classicism) architecture, displaying a highly symmetric and proportional design typical of mid-19th-century public buildings.
- Vertical Structure (Symmetry): The facade features a distinct tripartite division. A prominent, five-axis central projection (risalit) breaks forward from the main wall plane and is flanked on either side by symmetric four-axis wings.
- Horizontal Zoning (The Floors): The building sits on a low, rustic basement level (demisol). It rises through a ground floor, two full-height upper floors, and terminates at a lower-profile attic or mezzanine top floor (half-story).
- Central Crown: The middle projection is capped by a low-pitched triangular pediment (pyramid) featuring a central decorative medallion or clock face, emphasizing the main entrance below.
- Window Design: Simple, rectangular, evenly spaced windows line the facade. A singular central balcony with a decorative balustrade projects directly above the main portal, serving as the architectural focal point.
The ruins standing at Askanischer Platz in Berlin today belong entirely to the second, grander version of the station completed in 1880.
1874–1880: Because Berlin grew so rapidly, the original 1841 building was completely torn down to make room for a massive expansion.
1960: After sustaining severe bomb damage in World War II, the main train hall of the 1880 building was demolished, leaving only the front entrance portal standing as a memorial.
The late 19th century—particularly the 1880s—marked the absolute peak of the Industrial Revolution's building boom, characterized by a massive wave of demolition and reconstruction across major European cities.
The Crystal Palace Effect: London’s original Crystal Palace (built in 1851, destroyed by a catastrophic fire on November 30, 1936) set off a worldwide architectural trend. By the 1880s, major global metropolises were actively demolishing older, smaller masonry hubs to erect their own massive glass-and-iron exhibition palaces, winter gardens, and central train terminals.
The building itself states Great Year 33 (the current one, so they used our calendar and timeline, not Terra's).
The CROWN might state what was conjunct the crown at the time (and thus giving us a more accurate date/timeline).
33.10.16??? Great Year 33, 10th astrological age/era, 16 degrees???
It is now Great Year 33, 11th Age/Era (Leo on Virgo 3).
