Train Station

Bonn-Oberkassel station
Bonn-Oberkassel station is on the East Rhine Railway (Rechte Rheinstrecke) in the suburb of Oberkassel in the Bonn district of Beuel in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.HistoryThe station was opened on 11 July 1870 in the course of extending the East Rhine line from Neuwied to Oberkassel and at the same time as the establishment of the Bonn–Oberkassel train ferry.After the closure of the train ferry in 1919, the station retained its function, since it continued to handle the freight of a cement factory. In addition, it was used by a shipyard newly established in the train ferry precinct.With the decline and final closing down of the cement factory in 1987, the station’s freight facilities (several sidings and loading ramps) also lost their importance. Today, of the formerly large field of railway tracks at the station only the two tracks on the East Rhine line are used for freight and commuter trains. The remaining tracks were removed in 2008 along with the overhead line equipment. The historic station building is a heritage listed building and is used as a private residence and for offices and a restaurant.Passenger servicesThe station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station. It is served hourly by Regional-Express service RE 8 (Rhein-Erft-Express) and Regionalbahn service RB 27 (Rhein-Erft-Bahn), which complement each another to provide an approximate half-hourly service. Near the railway station is the tram and Stadtbahn station of Bonn-Oberkassel Nord, which provides a connection to Bonn Hauptbahnhof.
