    very clean train station and grounds. About 20 years ago a bad train accident happened here.
    In the Brühl train accident on February 6, 2000, nine people were killed and 149 others were injured when a train coming from the north on the opposite track entered the eastern siding at excessive speed and derailed. While the front part of the train fell down the embankment and rammed a residential building, the rear part was pressed across the platform against a pillar of the platform roof. The design of the station from two spatially separated parts and the lack of intermediate and exit signals for the opposite direction on the continuous main track in the opposite direction also contributed to the accident. During the clean-up work, the eastern siding was completely removed, the platform was shortened and a noise protection wall was built on the east side. As part of the NRW modernization offensive, access to the platform tunnel was widened in 2006 and the stairs were provided with stair lifts.

      The Ville-Eifel-Weg and the Jubiläumsweg for the 100th birthday of the OG Brühl of the Eifelverein start here. (a beautiful circular route of 14 kilometers).

        The federal train station in Brühl in the Rhein-Erft district is probably one of the few where you can see a castle with UNESCO World Heritage status from the platform. The passenger trains RE5, RB26 and RB48 stop here.
