Barbarossaplatz station
Barbarossaplatz station is an interchange station and hub on Cologne Stadtbahn lines 12, 15, 16 and 18 in the Cologne 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 Cologne Stadtbahn#North-South [rail |Nord-Süd Stadtbahn], line 16 will no longer serve the Cologne Ring, taking the direct route through the new tunnel instead.
