Jünkerath train station

Jünkerath train station is a railway facility in the Eifel region of Rhineland-Palatinate, situated at 429 meters elevation with three platform tracks. The building is constructed in the historicism style and provides connections through the Eifel Railway network.

The station was established in November 1870 by the Rhenish Railway Company as a major transportation point. It played a significant role in military operations during both World Wars in the region.

The station building reflects the architectural style of the late 19th century and preserves the industrial character of German railway infrastructure. It stands as a reminder of how the design of such buildings shaped public spaces during that era.

The station is operated by Deutsche Bahn with regular train services between Cologne and Gerolstein, and digital displays show departure and arrival times. Visitors will find bicycle parking facilities and elevators for easier access throughout the complex.

A railway museum stands near the station, displaying regional transport history and historical rail artifacts. The collection reveals how trains shaped the development of the Eifel region over time.
