Köln-Weiden West tram station

Köln-Weiden West is a railway station situated at Weiden, Cologne in western Germany on the Cologne–Aachen railway. It is served by the S12 line of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn and line 1 of the Cologne Stadtbahn.[4] It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.[1]

History

The station was built before the 2006 FIFA World Cup to relief the Stadtbahn trains from RheinEnergie Stadion (part of line 1) to the center of Cologne. When Weiden West was opened, people coming from west of Cologne could change there to the Stadtbahn instead of going via the Central Station of Cologne and use the westbound Stadtbahn to the stadium.
