Cologne/Bonn Airport station, Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn station
Cologne/Bonn Airport station is an underground railway station located directly beneath the airport terminals, serving passengers with train connections. The station features a modern design with glass and steel elements, wide platforms beneath a large glass roof that fills the space with natural light and creates an open, spacious feeling.
The station opened in 2004 as part of a plan to connect the airport to Germany's high-speed rail network. The federal government and local authorities funded the project to improve airport accessibility and strengthen regional travel connections.
The station's name reflects its role connecting two major airport cities in the region. Travelers from around the world pass through daily, giving the space a distinctly international character.
The station is directly accessible from the airport terminals with easy entry and no long walks. Elevators and stairs connect the platforms to terminal levels, making travel convenient for those carrying luggage or with limited mobility.
The station features a large glass roof spanning about 6000 square meters that weighs hundreds of tonnes and is supported by steel beams. This architectural solution creates a remarkably bright and open space despite being underground, making the experience more pleasant for travelers.
