4. **Importance in World War II**: During World War II, Linde station played a strategic role in supplying the region with goods and troop movements. The railway line was an important transport route for materials and soldiers.

5. **Decline and closure**: With the decline of mining and the advent of road transport in the second half of the 20th century, Linde station gradually lost importance. The Cologne-Lindar line was eventually closed and the station became a relic of times gone by.
