traffic

The federal motorway 44 runs on the southern outskirts . The public transport , the Rurtalbus GmbH by the bus lines 279 (partly as call bus) and 281 and safely through a call taxi.

From 1911 to 1971 the Jülich Kreisbahn operated a railway line from Jülich via Kirchberg and Koslar to Puffendorf with passenger traffic. That is why the two-track Koslar station had a small reception building. Until 1980, the route was used for transporting sugar beet to the Jülich sugar factory , then until 1999 almost exclusively for transporting the scrap dealer Plum in Puffendorf. Over the years, rail freight transport has continued to decline.
