Kottenforst train station, Railway heritage monument in Lüftelberg, Germany.
Kottenforst train station is a regional stop in Luffelberg in North Rhine-Westphalia with two platform faces and two tracks. The facility also serves as a track interchange point where trains can switch between the rails.
The station opened on 7 June 1880 as a vital transport link during Germany's industrial growth period. It was built as part of a larger network to connect rural communities to the country's expanding railway systems.
The station building displays traditional German railway design from the late 1800s with its stone and brick construction that feels timeless. The facade reflects the straightforward building style that was common for railway stations of that era.
The station is served by the S23 line connecting it to Bonn main station and Bad Munstereifel. Visitors should know this is a smaller stop with basic facilities, so it is wise to check train schedules in advance.
The facility functions as a track interchange point, a rare feature for smaller stops, allowing trains to switch between two different rails. This makes the location interesting for railway fans who want to understand how train systems work technically.
