Hello 2026

The promise of the Rheinische Industriebahn is more than just transportation - it is a journey through time that impressively combines old and new Cologne. If you want to experience the fireworks at the turn of the year from a historically significant perspective, the ride on the special train to Cologne's Südbrücke is the stylish highlight. Departing from the HGK depot in Cologne-Bickendorf or Cologne Central Station, you embark on a journey into the heart of New Year's Eve in charmingly nostalgic carriages from the 1920s and 1960s. The experienced panorama of the city and the glittering Rhine reveal themselves from a perspective that is far more than just a feast for the eyes - it is a tribute to history and life itself. Drinks such as sparkling wine and mulled wine can be purchased on board, or you can bring your own to add to the festive atmosphere. Warm clothing is a must, as the nostalgic carriages are only partially heated. This unique trip offers you the opportunity to experience the turn of the year consciously and in a convivial atmosphere - an experience that only remains exclusive if you book in good time and the number of seats is limited.
