district of
Innenstadt. The station is located at
Barbarossaplatz, a major junction between the
Cologne Ring and
Luxemburger Straße. It is one of the few stations in Cologne's city center that has low-floor platforms which only serve high-floor trains.
The station was opened in 1898, and was the terminus of the Vorgebirgsbahn connecting Cologne and Bonn.
With the opening of the
Nord-Süd Stadtbahn, line 16 will no longer serve the
Cologne Ring, taking the direct route through the new tunnel instead.
