Cölbe station

Here the Upper Lahn Valley Railway (German: Obere Lahntalbahn) to Erndtebrück via Biedenkopf and Bad Laasphe and the Burgwald Railway to Frankenberg (Eder) via Wetter and Münchhausen branch off the main line.

After the platform that was served by tracks 1 and 2 had deteriorated to the point that people were banned from entering it, it had to be closed and replaced.

The two outer platform tracks (3 and 4) and the passing loop are used exclusively by trains on the Main-Weser Railway.

The station is served on the Main-Weser Railway by the Mittelhessen-Express (RB 41) between Treysa and Frankfurt hourly.

Thus, trains run from Cölbe to Frankenberg (Eder), Biedenkopf, Bad Laasphe, Erndtebrück, Korbach, Brilon Stadt, Treysa, Marburg, Giessen, Friedberg and Frankfurt am Main.

This is mainly due to the operation of more modern diesel multiple units and the provision of new and modernised stations on the lines.

Until then, the northern part of the station was used for loading the freight of local companies.

Today, the only remains of the formerly extensive freight operations are the loading ramps and large open areas, which were formerly used for sidings.
