Poststraße station is an underground station on lines 3, 4, 16 and 18 of the Cologne Stadtbahn system. The station is located under Poststraße (English: Post Street), after which the station is named, near its intersection with Rothgerberbach. The station serves the Cologne district of Innenstadt. It is the southernmost station in the Innenstadt tunnel (English: inner city tunnel).
Currently, the station serves 30 trains per hour per direction, the maximum possible with the current technical equipment and at grade-crossing just before the station, regularly, with line 18 running on 5-minute headways and the other three lines on 10 minutes each. Once the North-South Stadtbahn tunnel is finished, line 16 will run through the new tunnel, reducing the amount of trains per hour per direction to 24.
