Services

The Cross Eifel Railway is served by Regionalbahn line Lahn-Eifel-Bahn : RB 23 (Mayen Ost – Koblenz Hbf – Limburg) and RB 38 (Kaisersesch – Mayen Ost – Andernach).

Emperor station

The station building was built in 1877 to a design of the Cologne architect Gustav Päffgen. [4] The so-called Kaiserbahnhof (Emperor station) got its name because Emperor Wilhelm II used the station as a starting point for visits to the Eifel. It has been shown that he took a carriage from the station to visit the Maria Laach Abbey. It is considered one of the most beautiful historic buildings in the region around Mendig.

The stately design shows the importance that the railway had as a means of transport. The façade mainly displays Gothic Revival elements and the structure is accessible via a two-flight staircase. The walls are divided by cornices and the building edges are accentuated by corner blocks.

The now restored building has been converted into a residential and office building. It is now privately owned.
