17 June: most ICE trains calling at Köln Ehrenfeld instead of Köln Hbf

Due to engineering works near Cologne, most ICE trains connecting Brussels with Frankfurt will be diverted around Cologne on Saturday 17 June 2023.

As a consequence, these trains will not be serving Köln Hbf main station as usual, but will be calling at Köln-Ehrenfeld station instead (in the North-West of the city centre).

Please check the adapted schedules in our journey planner if you travel to/from Cologne or if you have to change trains in Cologne.
