The predecessor of the current station was constructed in 1912. Serving the Jinpu Railway (Reorganised as part of Beijing-Shanghai Railway in 2007), it was designed by German architect Hermann Fischer. It was controversially demolished and rebuilt in 1992. Between 1915 and 1937, Jinan was home to another railway station of the same name, which served as the western terminus for the Jiaoji Railway, the station building of which is still extant and has since turned into a museum.[2][3]
It is planned to build a new station building to the north of the railway. Construction is expected to begin in January 2023.[4]
The station is served by Jinan Railway Station North station on Line 2 of the Jinan Metro.
