Köln-Chorweiler is a combined light rail and railway station situated at Chorweiler, Cologne in western Germany.
[2] The genesis of the joint Stadtbahn and S-Bahn station and the railway lines on which it lies, is closely linked to the development of a large housing estate of Chorweiler.
[6][7] At the inauguration of Chorweiler Stadtbahn station, it was operated by line 9 (then running Chorweiler–Ebertplatz–Neumarkt–Severinsbrücke–Königsforst) with Duewag articulated trams.
Since the infrastructure was designed for high-floor Stadtbahn vehicles, the tracks were raised by the insertion of half a metre of additional gravel.
As a result of the change, the tracks were lowered in preparation for the operation of high-floor cars, as originally envisaged, and the turning loop was abandoned as it was no longer required for the new bi-directional vehicles.
