Bad Münstereifel-Arloff is a former train station and stop (since the late 1990s) on the Erft Valley Railway at kilometer point 8.9. Between 1895 and 1920 the meter-gauge Eifel route of the Euskirchener Kreisbahnen ended in Arloff. Today's regional services of the railway linking the residents and visitors Arloffs the center of Bad Münstereifel, and the cities of Euskirchen and Bonn .
history
In Arloff there has been a station building at kilometer 8.9 since 1890 . The second station building was put into operation on February 19, 1955 together with a restaurant. A goods shed was also planned, but its construction never got beyond the basement. The reception building and cellar of the never completed goods shed are now in private hands.
The station Arloff was after Bad Münstereifel the largest station on the Erft Valley Railway and had until the 1960s four tracks. Train crossings were possible on them, but in fact mostly the Arloffer Thonwerke wagons, which had a direct rail connection to the station, were parked. From 1917 to approx. 1960 there were even two wagon turntables on the Thonwerke site, with which the wagons were allocated to the individual halls of the company. The hammer mill Erft G. Dederichs also used the Arloff station to purchase raw metal, which was unloaded from the wagons using hand cranes.
In the mid-1960s, the Arloff station was closed as an office and placed under the Bad Münstereifel station. In the 1970s, the Landhandel Strottkötter (then Speuser and now the Raiffeisenkasse) built the warehouse directly opposite the reception building on the former Freiladestrasse. When the freight traffic on the Erft Valley Railway declined, a track was dismantled. In the course of the route renovation in 1998, the branch point to the connection to the Tonwerke , which had not been used for at least seven years, was dismantled. As at all stations on the Eft Valley Railway, only the track remained. The station building was sold.
At Arloff station, the Erft Valley Railway was linked to the Eifel line (Mühlheim-Wichterich-Zülpich-Satzvey-Arloff) of the Euskirchener Kreisbahnen (EKB) until around 1920 . The former service building of the EKB is still behind the former station building of the DB and is also privately owned.
