The representative former reception building of the former Kaiserbahnhof now serves as the Kaiserbahnhof restaurant .

history
Former Kaiserbahnhof
The so-called Kaiserbahnhof in Brühl-Kierberg is one of the most beautiful reception buildings in Germany. It was built in 1877 in a small park at the end of the Kaiserstraße leading up from downtown Brühl. It owes its particularly elaborate design to Kaiser Wilhelm I , to whom the station served as a stopover for his annual visits to the autumn maneuvers in the Eifel. A siding was specially laid out on the north side of the line for the imperial train. In this respect, the historic station was also a real station in the sense of the Reichsbahn definition. From the train station, the emperor drove in a horse-drawn carriage across Kaiserstrasse to the Brühler Schloss , where he stayed overnight. The park surrounding the train station is decorated with numerous sculptures based on ancient models. The robbery of Proserpine was allegedly created for one of the Paris world expositions .
Contract for the connection of a mine station to Kierberg station
A contract was signed between the Royal Railway Operations Office in March 1891, subject to the approval of the Royal Railway Directorate, or "KED" for short (both in Cologne ) on the one hand, and the mine owner at the time, Hermann Gruhl zu Halle an der Saale (later based in Brühl), on the other. The text of the contract, which is divided into several paragraphs, essentially contained the following agreements.
- “Mr. Gruhl intends to build a briquet factory on the property belonging to him to the right of km 7.2–7.5 of the Kalscheuren -
