Previously this space was occupied by another freight station named “Central Güterbahnhof Gereon”, which means “the Central Freight Station Gereon”. It was located here due to the fact that this space is located between the rail line to Aachen and some connecting lines. It went into operation in 1860 and remained the central freight station in the city for over a century. (previous | next | back to album | 2020:09:25 17:26:14 | 83% of an album)
