The former Burg-Reuland station, a red brick building, is located on the historic railway line that connected Aachen with Luxembourg.
Around 1900 this was a busy train route on which coal was transported to Luxembourg and iron ore to Aachen. In addition to its industrial importance, the railway also offered the residents of the Eifel-Ardennes region the opportunity to go to larger cities such as Sankt Vith, Malmedy or Aachen for work and trade.
When the Treaty of Versailles transferred the districts of Eupen and Malmedy from Prussian rule to the Belgian crown in 1919, the railway connection lost importance. The connection from Aachen to Luxembourg was diverted through the Moselle Valley, so that train traffic decreased significantly. During the two world wars the railway was operated alternately by the German and Allied armies.
However, after the Second World War the destruction was so great that the line was gradually closed down and freight traffic was completely shifted to the road in the 1960s. The 'Vennbahn' connection has since been closed. It was later revived as a cycle path and today countless cyclists enjoy the route between Aachen and Luxembourg. The Vennbahn cycle route is located in the middle of nature, with little road traffic and gentle slopes.
