In the Third Reich the first large-scale deportations from the metropolitan area of Koblenz were carried out through the freight yard . In 1942 , 870 Jews were deported from Lützel to Cologne and from there despatched to labour and concentration camps . Lützel station was destroyed during air raids in 1944 . German troops destroyed all the bridges in Koblenz during their retreat in 1945 , including the Crown Prince William and the Moselle ( Lützel ) railway bridges , which were very important for the station . In the same year the Lützel railway bridge was temporarily repaired by the Americans . Koblenz-Lützel station was also rebuilt . It was not until 1954 , that the Urmitz railway bridge was rebuilt with a single track , replacing the Prince William bridge . On 22 September 1962 , the double track , electrified and upgraded Neuwied – Koblenz railway was opened to traffic
