of the Bonn Stadtbahn, which runs through Beuel to Bonn city centre, Bonn Hauptbahnhof and Dottendorf and in the other direction through Ramersdorf to Oberkassel. Planning After 20 years of planning and discussion, preparatory work began in the autumn of 2016 to extend S-Bahn line 13 (Cologne–Troisdorf) to Bonn-Oberkassel. The completion of all work is planned for 2027. In the course of this work, Beuel station will receive two additional suburban tracks, but it will also lose all of its freight tracks. As a result, Bonn is losing its last interface between rail and road; local rail freight operations, as practiced at the moment, will no longer be possible. Half of the freight yard building is to be demolished, the remainder is to be moved 1.8 metres to the east. Monumental protection, however, obliges DB to deal with the legally required, but expensive "translocation" by terminating the tenancy of the freight yard, thus deliberately creating a business-destroying vacancy. The remaining part of the freight shed will not receive a new operating track, so it will lose its technical and historical function. The modernisation of the tracks and station installations will also cause the loss of the characteristic (and only rarely so well preserved) platform canopy. This was also popular as a setting for film shoots. Notes Bonn Straßenbahn stations Railway stations in Bonn Buildings and structures in Bonn Railway stations in Germany opened in 1871
