Köln-Dellbrück station

Köln-Dellbrück is a railway station on the line from Köln-Mülheim to Bergisch Gladbach situated at Dellbrück, Cologne in western Germany. It is served by the S11 line of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn.
Dellbrück station was opened in 1868 by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company as part of the Mülheim–Bergisch Gladbach railway. Two years later in 1870, the station building was inaugurated after the council had built the building free of charge. The two-storey building was built in a late classical Rundbogenstil with a half-timber gable and, in addition to the rail facilities, also contained a restaurant. An adjacent level crossing over the road axis of Dellbrücker Hauptstraße/Diepeschrather Straße was initially unprotected. Instead, there were black and white signs saying: "Stop! As soon as a train approaches, pedestrians, riders, drivers of cattle and beasts of burden must stop here. Violators will be punished!" A freight yard was established to the east of the station in 1902 after industry and craft businesses had been attracted with favourable land. Extensions were made to the station building in 1904 and 1908. A second track was laid and a road underpass was built in 1908.
