Bitburg-Erdorf station

The station building features red sandstone squares, shield gables, and pointed arches that exemplify the Gothic Revival architectural style of the 1870s.

The station opened on November 15, 1871, as Erdorf-Bitburg station, initially facing opposition from residents concerned about fire hazards from locomotives.

Architect Julius Carl Raschdorff incorporated local architectural elements into the design, creating a structure that reflects the regional building traditions.

The station operates on the Eifel Railway line, providing regular passenger services with connections between major cities including Cologne and Trier.

The station maintains one of its original mechanical signal boxes under heritage protection, preserving railway operational history from the nineteenth century.
