 In 1879, the Horchheim Railway Bridge was opened south of Pfaffendorf Bridge, connecting to the East Rhine railway and to Koblenz Hauptbahnhof (central station), when it opened in 1902.The station is served by the Rhein-Erft-Bahn, running on the Koblenz–Cologne–Mönchengladbach route at hourly intervals, former by the "Rhein-Erft-Express".Previously, the Rhein-Erft-Express had continued to Venlo after Mönchengladbach since its introduction in 1998.
