West Rhine Railway
In the second half of the 19th century there had been an earlier station near the modern station on today's Fischelstraße. It was called the Rhenish station ("Rheinischer Bahnhof", after the Rhenish Railway Company, its builder) and was on the West Rhine Railway, running from Cologne to Bingerbrück. In 1902, it was replaced by the current Koblenz Hauptbahnhof.
