The Cologne Bonn airport was the third German airport to have a connection to the ICE network after [[Frankfurt Airport long-distance station|Frankfurt Airport]] and [[Düsseldorf Airport station|Düsseldorf Airport]].

In 2002, the projected construction cost of the station stood at €58.3 million.<ref name="zt-2002-1-8"/> It was funded by the federal government, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Cologne Bonn Airport. In total, the federal government contributed approximately €255 million to the construction costs of the airport loop and station.<ref name="bt-16-7371">{{cite web|publisher=[[Deutscher Bundestag]] |url=http://dipbt.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/16/073/1607371.pdf |title=Reply by the Federal Government to minor question by deputies Winfried Hermann, Dr. Anton Hofreiter, Peter Hettlich, and other members of the BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN party – printed matter 16/7104 |format= PDF; 69 kB |date= 29 November 2007 |language=German |accessdate=27 June 2013}}</ref>

Crossovers at the north end of the station allow trains to change tracks between the two main platform tracks, allowing ICE services from the north to terminate and reverse, but there are no crossovers at the south end.
The station, which is located in the area between the two airport terminals, is spanned over a length of {{Cvt|156
In June 2007, a two-story connecting building was built at the southern end of the station as a check-in area for Terminal 1 B; this has a steel and glass facade with an area of {{Cvt|1400
The platforms have alternating signs: ''Köln/Bonn Flughafen'' and ''Köln/Bonn Airport''.
==History==
The link to the airport was proposed as part the Federal Cabinet's decision on 20 December 1989 to build the new high-speed line on the eastern side of the [[Rhine]].<ref name="eisenbahn-journal-2002-3-12">{{cite book| chapter=Das Planungsstadium
It also benefitted from the [[Berlin-Bonn Act]] of 26 April 1994, which compensated the Bonn region for the relocation of the parliament and parts of the federal government to Berlin. The operator of the airport hoped that the construction of the station, which would strengthen connection between transport modes, would stimulate growth, including of the number of passengers using the airport. Originally, the station, as set out in the design competition, was to be built in a covered tunnel, but instead it was built with a large glass roof. Nevertheless, it is an underground station and is also referred to as such by Deutsche Bahn. So smoking is banned as in other underground stations in Germany.
Line 96:
The building was designed by the architectural firm Murphy/[[Helmut Jahn|Jahn]], which had already designed terminal 2.
With the opening of the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed railway, two ICE and three S-Bahn trains could run each hour in each direction through the station.<ref name="koeln-1998-23">{{cite book|publisher=Stadtplanungsamt der Stadt Köln |title=Bahnhöfe der Zukunft an den neuen Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecken |location=Cologne|year= c. 1998 |page=23
===Construction===
The station was constructed in three sections. In the middle section the construction workers encountered during excavation [[lignite]] and gravel that could be used directly as a building material, saving construction costs.<ref name="db-2004-06-01">{{cite book|publisher= DB ProjektBau |title=Die neue StartBahn |location=Cologne|year=2004 |language=German}} (brochure, 16 A4 pages, with status of 1 June 2004)</ref>
After the two ends of the station were created during the reconstruction of the airport in the autumn of 2001, the station building was intended to be an aesthetically-sophisticated centre piece.<ref name="etr-2001-594">{{cite journal|author=Klaus Dickhut |title= Schienenanbindung des Flughafens Köln/Bonn |journal= Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau |volume=50 |issue=10 |year= 2001 |pages=594–601 |language=German}}</ref> On 29 January 2002, Norbert Rüther, Ernst Schwanhold, [[Hartmut Mehdorn]] and Angelika Mertens performed its groundbreaking ceremony.<ref name="eisenbahn-journal-2002-3-34"/><ref name="etr-2002-99">{{cite journal| title= Spatenstich für den neuen ICE-Flughafen-Bahnhof| journal=Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau |volume= 51 |issue=3 |year= 2002 |page=99 |language=German}}</ref> It was opened on 12 June 2004 in the presence of German Chancellor [[Gerhard Schröder]].

===Operations===
The number of daily ICE trains was reduced from eight to six pairs of trains in 2007 as a result of low demand.<ref name="eb-106-16">{{cite journal| title= Elektrischer Betrieb bei der Deutschen Bahn im Jahre 2007|journal=Elektrische Bahnen | volume=106 |year=2008 |issue=
===S-Bahn connections===
The construction of the airport loop was, for the most part, financed by funds under the Berlin–Bonn Act, especially to improve connections from the Bonn/Rhine-[[Sieg River|Sieg]] region to the airport. Currently only Cologne and—[[Troisdorf station|Troisdorf]] in the [[Rhein-Sieg-Kreis|Rhein-Sieg district]]—have direct connections to the airport via lines [[S13 (Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn)|S13]] and [[S19 (Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn)|S19]] of the S-Bahn, providing a service every 20 minutes on week days. There is an hourly service to the airport station via [[Regional-Express]] line RE 6 (the [[Rhein-Weser-Express]]) to [[Minden station|Minden]] and the [[Regionalbahn]] RB 27 (the [[Rhein-Erft-Bahn]]) along the [[East Rhine Railway]] (Cologne–Troisdorf–[[Bonn-Beuel station|Bonn-Beuel]]). Frequent connections are not possible, since the line carries dense freight traffic. A new track (in parts two) are planned to be built along the line from Troisdorf to [[Bonn-Oberkassel station|Bonn-Oberkassel]] so that services on line S 13 can be extended from [[Horrem station|Horrem]] via [[Cologne Hauptbahnhof]], the airport and Troisdorf to Oberkassel. It is planned that another service would run via [[Bad Honnef]] to [[Linz am Rhein]].<ref>{{cite news |title= Bahnsteige für Vilich : Stadtbahnhaltestelle wird behindertengerecht umgebaut
