traffic

railroad

On the Cologne-Mülheim-Lindlar railway line, the section from Immekeppel to Lindlar was released in 1912 . At this time, the trains continued to Lindlar without stopping in Georghausen. During the Second World War , refugees came from Cologne who tried to find a stop in their new home. This led to a stopping point being set up in Georghausen in 1943 , which remained until the line was closed. The railroad crossed the street in front of the half-timbered houses, and tickets could be bought in the mill.
