In October 2023, renovation work began on the Goethe Bridge in the north of the station, with the aim of replacing it with a new structure. The work disrupted the tram connection under the Goethe Bridge. Various other operational measures were necessary on the routes leading over the bridge toward Wismar and Warnemünde, particularly on the S-Bahn lines. As part of the demolition of the southern section of the station, a new platform 6 was created in the main station for services toward Wismar. The old platform 6 is now unmarked until further notice [as of August 2024].

The current main station was opened in 1886 by the German-Nordic Lloyd Railway and Steamship Company as a Lloyd station. The company operated the Lloyd Railway Neustrelitz – Rostock – Warnemünde and the connecting mail steamer service to Nykøbing (Falster). In 1894, the Lloyd Railway was purchased by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and incorporated into the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway (M.F.F.E.), which already operated a large station in Rostock, the Friedrich-Franz Station. The parallel operation of both stations for passenger and freight traffic proved inefficient. In 1896, the Lloyd Station took over the majority of passenger traffic. With the commencement of the rail ferry service from Warnemünde to Gedser in 1903, the long-distance express trains from Berlin to Copenhagen stopped at the station. After the reconstruction of the line from the direction of Stralsund, the trains to and from Stralsund no longer stopped
