Kohnen-Station is a German summer-only polar research station in the Antarctic, able to accommodate up to 28 people.

It is located 757 km southeast of Neumayer Station III, which lies on the Ekstrom Ice Shelf and provides logistics and administration for Kohnen-Station.

It is supplied by a convoy of 6 towing vehicles, which carry up to 20 tons each, and 17 sledges.

Kohnen station is the logistic base for the ice coring project in Dronning Maud Land, the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA).
