The underground station
Rochusplatz on the
Cologne Stadtbahn, a
light rail system in the German city of
Cologne. The station entrance is at the junction of Venloer Straße with Äußere Kanalstraße in the district of
Ehrenfeld. It was opened in 1992 and consists of a mezzanine and one
island platform with two rail tracks. The station was previously known as Äußere Kanalstraße, but was renamed to its present title on 15 December 2019. The system uses pairs of K5000/K5200 units built by
Bombardier Transportation, which are almost identical to the
M5000 trams used by
Metrolink in Manchester, England.
