The Cologne-Dellbrück train station is located in the district of the same name in Cologne on the right bank of the Rhine on the course book route 450.11, the Cologne – Bergisch Gladbach railway line .
history
Dellbrück station was built on the Mülheim-Bergisch Gladbach railway line opened in 1868 by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . Two years later, in 1870, the station building was inaugurated after the local council had made the building site available free of charge. The two-storey building was built in a late classicist round arch style with a floating gable and, in addition to the railway facilities, also contained a restaurant. A neighboring level crossing on the Dellbrücker Hauptstrasse / Diepeschrather Strasse axis was initially unrestricted. Instead there were black and white signs that read: Stop! As soon as a train approaches, pedestrians, riders and drivers of livestock and pack animals have to stop here. Offenders will be punished! . A freight yard was set up east of the passenger station in 1902, after industrial and handicraft businesses had previously been recruited with inexpensive building land. In 1904 and 1908 the station building was expanded. In 1908 a second track was laid and a road underpass was built.
On weekdays the station served commuter traffic from Dellbücker workers to the factories in Deutz, Kalk and Mülheim . At the weekend, the rush was even greater: around the turn of the century, eight to nine special trains were used to handle the excursion traffic from the nearby towns to Dellbrück.
In addition to its actual function, the reception building was used by the people of Dellbrück for festivities. The press reported on a celebratory dinner on the occasion of the birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm I on March 24, 1881 in the decorated reception building, which was illuminated by Bengali fireworks.
With the nationalization of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, the station passed into the possession of the Kingdom of Prussia on June 1, 1882 . In a bombing raid on the night of August 22nd to 23rd, 1943, the roof structure of the reception building was severely damaged. When the football club Prussia Dellbrück advanced to the semi-finals of the German championship in 1950 , several special trains from Reutlingen, Mannheim and Offenbach came to Dellbrück on Sundays. In 1979 the old station building was demolished. In its place was a functional glass and exposed concrete building in the style typical of the time.
traffic
Dellbrück is served Monday to Friday every 20 minutes by S-Bahn line 11 of the Cologne S-Bahn , and on weekends every 30 minutes. There is also a single morning course on the RB24 line ( Kall - Euskirchen - Cologne-Deutz ), which is extended on school days to Dellbrück and from there back to Cologne Hbf. Since July 2020, the trains of the RB 26 ( Mainz - Bingen - Koblenz - Bonn - Cologne Messe / Deutz ) have also ended and started in Dellbrück, as the trains cannot be turned around in Deutzerfeld due to construction sites. In addition, the station is passed by freight trains from the ports and goods traffic Cologne (HGK), which have the freight station in Bergisch Gladbach as their destination.
At the train station you can change to three VRS bus lines . Two of these lines are connected to lines 3 and 18 of the Cologne tram at the Dellbrück Hauptstraße stop .
investment
The station has two electrified through tracks on which the platforms of the S-Bahn are located. Both platforms have a length of 232 meters and a height of 76 cm (measured from the top of the rail), which does not allow stepless entry into the type 423 railcars that run on the S11 line . The platforms are staggered so that they only face each other over a length of a good 120 meters. The platform on platform 1 is a side platform, the platform between platform 2 and 3 is an island platform. North of the platform in the direction of Cologne is a bypass track that is used by the aforementioned RB24. This is also electrified, but can only be used for passenger traffic over a length of 210 meters.
A single-track section begins almost 500 meters east of the train station and extends to the end of the line in Bergisch Gladbach. Although the line stretches to the freight station there, only the track used for the S-Bahn is electrified. Between the Dellbrück train station and the merging of the tracks there are two company connections that are no longer in use.
connections
To the south of the western platform is a small bus station, where buses to Cologne-Dünnwald and -Porz as well as lines to Bergisch Gladbach leave. This is designed in such a way that the platform merges seamlessly into the bus platforms without any height difference. The Stadtbahn line of the Cologne transport company runs from Deutz / Mülheim to Thielenbruch about 700 meters south of the railway line .
