Betzdorf station

Betzdorf (Sieg) station is a railway facility in Rhineland-Palatinate with six operational tracks and a centrally positioned entrance building. The structure connects major rail lines toward Cologne, Gießen, and Siegen, functioning as a junction for regional traffic.

The station opened in 1861 as a junction linking the Cologne-Gießen main line with a branch route to Siegen. This connection made the town an important hub for moving goods and passengers through the region.

The station building and its locomotive depot stand as protected monuments, representing the architectural style of 19th-century German railway infrastructure.

The station is served by regional express and local trains running hourly to cities like Aachen, Siegen, and Daaden throughout the day. The entrance building sits centrally for straightforward access to all platform areas.

The locomotive depot adjacent to the station remains a protected monument from the 1800s, showing how repair shops once looked. This facility reveals the technical infrastructure that once kept trains running during the region's industrial era.
