History of the line

The first section of the line opened on February 15, 1844 between Bonn and St Pantaleon, Cologne's former main station. It was then extended in 1856 and 1859 to include Cologne's main station. To the south, Koblenz is an important crossroads along the Moselle valley to France and south to Mainz, while Cologne is a major hub for local, national and international lines, with over 280,000 passengers using its station every day. Halfway along the line, the former West German capital of Bonn hosts regular ICE trains serving much of Germany.

Traffic on the line

The line forms the southern section of Deutsche Bahn's RE5 "Rhine Express" service, which runs from Emerrich northwest to Koblenz. Intercity and ICE hourly services, Regio passenger trains and various freight services also use the line. Commuter traffic even allows a glimpse of the exceptional heritage left behind.

Landscapes to discover

All along the line, medieval towns and castles, river barges gliding serenely by, remind passengers of the historic area they are crossing between the two densely urbanized cities of Cologne and Koblenz. The large freight stations at Bruhl and Bonn-West are also well-known landmarks, as is the DB Museum at Koblenz-Lucelle, which occupies a former depot connected to the main line.
