Linde station, along the former Cologne-Lindar line, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Here are some historical facts about this important station:

1. **Opening**: Linde station opened in 1869 and initially served as an important transport hub for passenger and freight traffic between Cologne and Lindar and the surrounding towns and communities.

2. **Importance for mining**: There were several coal mines near Linde station, which were a significant economic factor in the 19th century. The station therefore played an important role in the transport of miners, coal and other goods.

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.

Today, only a few traces remain of the former importance of Linde station and the Cologne-Lindar line. Nevertheless, it remains an important part of regional history and a symbol of the development of rail transport in the region.
