Köln-Lövenich Station

The first station building went up two decades after the line opened and was rebuilt in 1872. The last building was a simple single-storey structure from the 1950s. It stood at the end of Odemshofallee, a cul-de-sac on the north side of the rail facilities, with level access to the northern platform.

At the end of the 1990s, work began on upgrading the line, both for high-speed traffic and for the S-Bahn. Lövenich station was closed as part of this work. The station building and platforms were demolished, and the main tracks, upgraded for high-speed trains, now run where they once stood.

Further east, on the south side of the main tracks, there is a passing track. Because of its position, it is used mainly to let trains heading toward Cologne be overtaken. On the north side there is an industrial siding, served from the Köln-Ehrenfeld freight yard to the east.

To replace the demolished platforms, the new Lövenich stop was built slightly to the west. The southern tracks were converted into the Cologne–Düren S-Bahn line, and all stations on this route were made suitable for S-Bahn service. The stop's platform sits on the bridge over Brauweilerstraße (Landstraße 213), whereas the old platforms lay east of this road. The stop is also more conveniently located than the old station.
