About Cologne

Köln Messe/Deutz is a major station on the right (east) bank of the Rhine in Cologne, directly opposite the famous Cologne Cathedral and the main Cologne Hauptbahnhof. It serves as the station for the Koelnmesse exhibition centre and handles significant overflow traffic from Hauptbahnhof, particularly during major trade fairs when thousands of visitors arrive by high-speed train. The station is a stop on the high-speed Cologne–Frankfurt railway and offers S-Bahn and regional connections throughout the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area.
