Brühl station

Brühl station is a railway station in the city of Brühl in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It consists of a passenger station and a freight yard about a kilometre to the north. Both parts of the station are on the Left Rhine line; the freight yard also has a connection via Brühl-Vochem to the Cologne port and freight railway network.

Brühl station was opened on 15 February 1844 by the Bonn-Cologne Railway Company on the occasion of the visit of Queen Victoria and was from the beginning the most important stop between Cologne and Bonn. The station building was built on the first single-track line in sight of the Augustusburg Palace to a design by Johann Peter Weyer. Since large parts of the line run through the manorial estates, the royal family was able to assert its power in the area.
