Sürther Str. 191

(7.5 km from Neumarkt)

The Rodenkirchen Sports Complex can be reached by car or by public transportation.
To get to the Rodenkirchen Sporting Complex using the train, take the U-16 from the Cathedral/Central Train Station (Dom/Hauptbahnhof) stop or the Neumarkt stop, direction Wesseling/Bonn. The U-16 is underground at those stops but becomes an above-ground tram, traveling along the Rhine south toward Rhodenkirchen and Bonn. Even though the sport hall is called Rodenkirchen, do not take the Rodenkirchen stop, instead continue on the train until the Michaelshoven stop, the second stop after Rodenkirchen.
At the stop walk to the entrance and then turn left to take the pedestrian bridge over the tracks. At the end of bridge is Am Tannenhof, continue in the same direction on Am Tannenhof for about 375 meters. At the end of the street is Sürther Strasse, cross street at the light to the Rhodenkirchen Schule and the Rodenkirchen Sporthalle.
