Hürth-Kalscheuren station is in the town of Hürth in the Rhein-Erft district in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is at the junction of the Eifel Railway with the West Rhine Railway. The station was built in 1859 at the initiative of the city of Hürth, but was renamed Hürth-Kalscheuren in 1991/2 as a result of a contribution of Deutsche Mark 14,000 from Kalscheuren.

Hürth-Kalscheuren station is a junction station built on an island between the tracks. The station building is located between platform track 1 and track 51 and there are crossovers between the two tracks to the north and south of the station. In addition to the main platform, there are two island platforms, which lie between tracks 53 and 51 and between tracks 2 and 3.

Tracks 1 and 2 are located on the West Rhine Railway, which runs between Cologne, Bonn and Koblenz. Tracks 3 and 4 (which has no platform) are used to haul freight to Cologne-Ehrenfeld and Cologne-Nippes freight yard. Tracks 51 and 53 and some other tracks without platforms connect to the Eifel Railway, which branches off from the West Rhine Railway in Kalscheuren towards Kall and Gerolstein.

Services[]

The station is served by Regionalbahn service RB 24, operated by DB Regio NRW on the Eifel Railway, and MRB 26, operated by Deutsche Regionalbahn GmbH on the East Rhine line, both running once an hour each way every day. Long-distance and Regional-Express trains pass through Hürth-Kalscheuren station without stopping. The hourly services on line RB 48 (Rhein-Wupper-Bahn) between Wuppertal-Oberbarmen and Bonn-Mehlem, operated by National Express Germany, also passed through the station without stopping until December 2015, but stop since then.[6]
