Answer for the bad smell at Hauptbahnhof S-Bahn station

Hello, I work for the S-Bahn for quite a while now. I saw that many people have been asking, why the Hauptbahnhof smells so bad, especially the S-Bahn station. The answer is: when building the S-Bahn tunnel, they did a huge mistake. They built in a grease absorber for the canalisation which is on the exact same level as the platform. Most of you walked right over it already. Since the canalisation is very well used there, it gets full really fast and the smell will become even worse. So there’s your answer, it’s just as simple.

I also added an image of it and here is a link to a newspaper article about it:
