Look for two buildings on the apron here, not one: Terminal 1 dates to 1970, Terminal 2 opened thirty years later in 2000, and both sit within walking distance of a single railway stop in the immediate vicinity — the airport’s own ICE station. That shared station is why picking a terminal on this map matters less than it would elsewhere: whichever building your flight uses, the ten-minute free Kiss & Fly window and the walk from the trains work the same way. We checked each highlighted outline against the airport’s own facts and history pages before naming it. What the map does not show is the bulk of the site: Cologne Bonn sits among the ten largest cargo airports in Europe, and its freight apron and cargo halls for UPS, FedEx and DHL — each running a hub the airport says no other German airport hosts all three of — sprawl well beyond the two passenger buildings pictured.
The shaded buildings are the terminals as they operate today, with names verified by us — the base map’s own labels can lag behind reality. Blue P squares mark the official car parks that publish a name; the dark square is the station.
