Cologne/Bonn Airport – Spotting Guide

Published by Julian at August 12, 2018 - last modified on September 6, 2022

Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN/EDDK) was founded in 1938 as military base and used till 1945 by the German Air Force and afterwards by the British RAF. In 1951 first civil flights were operated form/to Cologne. After and after the first civil terminal facilities were built and the airport got the name “Flughafen Köln-Bonn” (back in the late 1960s). In September 2000 Terminal 2 was opened. The airport was more or less inofficially named after the important German Politican Konrad Adenauer after his dead. Nowadays the airport handles more than 12 million passengers per year and is located 15km southeast of Cologne’s downtown.

Today the airport is still used by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) and some more foreign Air Forces regularly. All bigger planes, which are being used by the German Government, are based here like the Globals, the A319s and the two A343s. Apart from those, CGN is the third biggest cargo airport in Germany and a hub for UPS/Star Air and FedEx. From a passengers sight, Eurowings and Ryanair are the major carriers at CGN and responsible for most movements.

Many movements can be seen on the webcam, which offers pictures/videos from four different positions. Schedule can be found on the aviation-friends-cologne website.

Written by Severin Hackenberger (regular visitor) in cooperation with Axel Weidenhaupt. Some information/pictures provided by Timo Jäger, Leon Knipp, David Mispelkamp and Tim-Patrick Müller. /// Last Update: August 2022

Krieger Strasse - 32L Departures

WHERE This spot is located near the Cargo Center and a Sportground along the “Krieger Strasse”. Coming from the “A59”, take the exit 34 called “Flughafen” and follow the “Kennedystrasse” until the “Grengler Mauspfad”. Follow this road into southern direction for about ~300 meters, then turn left into “Waldstrasse” and immediately right again at the roundabound (so take the first exit). Then follow the “Krieger Strasse” until you found a possibility to park at and search your favourite position.

TIME From early midday till sunset.
MISC. Everything needed can be found in the nearby cities. No ladder needed.
FOCAL LENGTH 150-350mm

Terminal Driveway - Apron Alpha

WHERE This spot is located on the terminal driveway, on the upper deck (used for departures). Park your car at one of the many opportunities at the airport and come back to the driveway. Your exact position depends on the parking position and maybe some objects like cars or stairs.
WHAT Apron Alpha can be seen form here. Some often parked guests here are CargoJet 767s, Germanwings/Eurowings planes or Star Air B767s.
TIME Depending on exact angle/parking position, but mostly better in the evening hours or in the early morning hours. Night shots are “safer”, because there won’t be backlit and you can take them quite well.

Visitor terrace - 14L/32R + Apron Terminal & 2

WHERE This is one of the or even the best photo location in Cologne/Bonn. It is the visitor terrace on the top of CGN Terminal 1, Concourse C. Just use the elevator or stairs to get on the fifth floor. The deck is open from 5am till 10pm (22 o’clock), free of charge and without security checks. The main platform is behind glass, but you can use the stairs to get on an even higher level where you have a free sight and no disturbing glass.

There is a northern end and a southern end, where you can spot from. Those are connected  by a walkway at the back side of the airportbuilding (northwest side of this buildingsection, where the terrace is located on) and just above one of the drop off area for cars (for more details, check the map).
However, all the stairways at the southern end are barricaded, so the only thing you mate shot from here are 14R Arrivals/32L Departures on early summer mornings – rest of the day, you’ll have backlit here and some glasses in your way.

WHAT The terrace offers a great overview and you can see many activities from here:

  • Arrivals on runway 14L (Example pictures: EW 330, UPS 744, UPS MD11 and Sprint Air ATR72)
  • Planes taxing to terminal 2 (Example pictures: Pobeda and Ryanair B738) or parking at terminal 1 infront of you (Exmaple picture: 4U A319)
  • Aircrafts taxiing to Apron “Alpha” or the military area (Example picture: Air Europa A330)
  • Late departures on runway 32R (Example picture: Russian Federation Tu154)
  • Late vacators from runway 32R after arrival (Example picture: MD11 “face2face”)
  • Even Arrivals on runway 14R can be seen from here with high focal lenght (Example picture: Belgian AF C130) – only picture from southern end!
  • Military apron in the West (Example picture: Apron overview/last picture in gallery)
TIME Arrivals and parallel taxiway has light from noon till sunset. Parked planes maybe earlier/later, depending on the angle. Military aircraft using the taxiway from west to east (or other way around) have light in the early morning or the late evening (only in summer months).
MISC. Everything you need can be found inside the terminal. No ladder needed!
Check the official website for updates before your visit! Terrace can be close due to bad weather or events. Free Wifi can be used on the terrace!

Forrest - 32R Arrivals + Line-Ups

WHERE There are two options to park your car at – so there are also two different options how to get to this spot, which is no exact position, rather the area around (t)here. Your exact position depends on your favourite angle/moment of the picture.

First parking option: Park your car by the roadside of “Alte Kölner Strasse” near spot #9. Then follow the walk path next to the forrestline (which should be between you and the street) for about ~500m, then turn right and shortly after this left again. The path will lead you straight down into south-eastern direction through a forrest after a short time. Shortly after you have left the big forrest, you’ll get to a crossing of 4 paths. Then you can choose your favourite position, which depends on the fact, if you want to have skyshots or not and the angle and so on.

Second parking option: Park your car in/at the parking “Altes Camp Altenrath”. Leave the mentioned parking (bay), then go down the street for about ~300m before turning right. Pass the forrestline for about ~30m, then you’ll see a path in fornt of you and on the right site. Now you met the way of the first parking option, so follow the same constructions. After around another ~30m turn left again into a dirty path. This one will lead you straight down into south-eastern direction through a forrest after a short time. Shortly after you have left the big forrest, you’ll get to a crossing of 4 paths. Then you can choose your favourite position, which depends on the fact, if you want to have skyshots or not and the angle and so on.

If you follow the description(s) above, spot should be reached in about ~10-15 minutes.

WHAT Arrivals on runway 32R.
TIME In winter months almost unuseable. In summer months form sunrise till late morning/early midday.
MISC. Nothing nearby. Ladder not really needed, but if you want to spot the planes if they are already lower and shortly before touchdown, a ladder might be useable. Heat haze is a BIG problem in summer months.
The area around this airport was/is a military base, that’s why DON’T LEAVE the WALKING PATHS, because military equipment as weapon ammunition might is still around there! On your way you might pass some cabinets, which generally shouldn’t be a problem, if you do this by foot and not by car and if you don’t leave the paths!
While walking by the roadside, BE CAREFUL! Many drivers are furious and think to have to show the world how fast/great they are!
Disadvantage: Cause of the walking distance, changing runways is very difficult here! If you choose this spot, you have to be sure, that this runway will be used for a time!

Wahner Heide - 14L Departures

WHERE Park your car at the “Wahner Heide Parkplatz” and start following the sandy path into northeastern direction parelly to “Altenrather Str.” for a few meters, until you get onto “Kaiserweg”. Turn left onto this path and follow it for about ~1500m, then you’ll reach the airport fence. Turn left and then walk up along the fence into touchdown point direction, until you reach your favourite position – depending on the favourite angle/moment of the picture. So this spot is no exact position, rather the area along the fence. Example pictures were taken from the spot marked on the map, which is another 800m along the fence.

If you follow the description(s) above, spot should be reached in about ~40 minutes.

Planitzweg - 32L Arrivals

WHERE Park your car at the “Wahner Heide Parkplatz” and start following the sandy path into northern direction for about ~200m, until you get onto “Eisenweg”. Turn right onto this path and follow it for about ~400m, then you’ll reach “Planitzweg”. Turn left onto this pathand follow it for about ~3km. Then you’ll pass a concrete block on your right and shortly after this you’ll see a glade on your right. Then choose your favourite position near/on the glade.

Telegrafenberg - 32L Arrivals

WHERE There are two options how to get to this spot, which is no exact position, rather the area around (t)here. Your exact position depends on your favourite angle/moment of the picture.

First option: Park your car at the “Wahner Heide Parkplatz” and start following an unnamed path/road into western direction. This one will end up in “Stellweg” after around ~200m. Keep following the “Stellweg” for about ~700m, before turning right sharply. After another 50m turn “halfleft” into “Kuckucksweg”, which will lead you to kinda glade on your right.

Second option: You can also park your car in the parking of “Waldwirtschaft Heidekönig” (marked on the map – west of spot #14). Then just walk to “Stellweg” as well, follow the road for about ~450m, before you turn left into an unnamed path. After 50m on this path turn “halfleft” into “Kuckucksweg”, which will lead you to kinda glade on your right.

If you follow the description(s) above, spot should be reached in about ~5-10 minutes.

WHAT Arrivals on runway 32L only.
TIME From late morning/early midday till sunset in sommers. In winter all day.
MISC. Nothing nearby. Ladder not needed.

We didn’t test the spot ourselves yet, but it was recommended by some local spotters. If you have some pictures, taken from here, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Scheuermühlenteich - 06 Arrivals

WHERE By car: Park your car at the “Scheuermühlenteich Parkplatz” parking west of the pont/lake, which can be entered form the “Flughafenstrasse” easily. Then start walking to the east end of the parking, until you get to the water. Then turn right and walk along the path for about ~150m, before turning left again. Follow this path for around ~100m; then you should have arrived at a glade on your left, from where you can see the arrivals.

By bus: Busline 162 is serving the nearest bus stop here called “DLR Wahnheide”. Once you have exited the bus, walk into eastern direction along “Planitzweg” for a few meters, before turning left into an unnamed path. Follow this one for a bit more than ~60m and then turn left at the “T-junction”. Keep walking into western direction then for another ~30m – now should have arrived at a glad on your right from where you can spot the arrivals.

If you follow the description(s) above, spot should be reached in about ~5 minutes from the parking and ~3 minutes from the bus stop.

WHAT Arrivals on runway 06. If you head to the fence on the other side of the pont and keep walking into eastern direction, you will get to the parking apron of (parts of) the GAF fleet. We never tried to make pictures there, because it might be forbidden due to military area! No guarantee!
TIME Runway 06/24: In winter all day. In summer months from sunrise till around ~3pm/early afternoon.
MISC. Nothing really nearby! Ladder not needed!
Keep a low profile, because most facilities around are military ones!
FOCAL LENGTH 50-200mm

Im Bruch Field - 06 Arrivals

WHERE This is an alternative spot for Runway 06 arrivals (spot 18), but it offers a slightly better angle and is much safer (as you do not penetrate security or military area at all). A much higher focal length is the disadvantage.
By car: Enter the street “Im Bruch” and park your car anywhere at the side of the street. Then follow the walking path next to the meadow as long as you like (I would recommend ~130 meters) and move a few steps onto the meadow. Take care if something is planted on the meadow and don’t destroy anything!
By bus: Busses 160 and 162 are serving the closest stop “Linder Weg” from the train station Porz. After deboaring follow the street “Viehtrift” for 50m and then turn right into “Im Bruch”.
WHAT Arrivals on Runway 06 and departures on 24 – but they are very high already, so a steep angle. Arrivals on Runway 06 occur only very rarely. Mostly this happens only due to very strong easterly winds or closed main runway.
TIME Summers: Sunrise till ~ 15.30
Winters: All day long
MISC. Ladder not required. A Kiosk/Mini Market and a bakery a rather close to this spot, a toilet might be available there too (but no guarantee).
FOCAL LENGTH A319 ~ 320mm; B737-800 ~ 300mm; A330-200 ~ 190mm; A340-500 ~ 170mm

Altenrather Str - 32R Arrivals

WHERE Good spot for 32R arrivals in the evening – for the lazy one’s of us. Walking is much shorter than to compareable positions. However, the trees only allow shots from approx. 70-90 degrees of the bypassing aircraft, rest is obstructed by trees. Park your car at the “Wahner Heide Parkplatz” and start following the sandy path into northern direction for about ~200m until you get onto “Eisenweg”. Turn right onto this path and follow it for about ~400m, then you’ll reach “Planitzweg”. At the “Planitzweg” make it a 180 turn to the left, there is a little meadow/track for forestry vehicles. Move a little bit backwards (approx. 30m) to reach the best angle for the photos.
If you arrive by car for only a couple of minutes (only for a specific plane) you may even park your car right at the crossing “Eisenweg”/”Altenrather Straße” next to the barrier. This will reduce your walking distance down to 40meters. Do NOT block the barrier and do NOT stay longer than a couple minutes – if you want to stay longer use one of the designated carparks of the nature reserve. If police or ranger asks you to leave – do so! Reportedly fines for parking there have been issued back in 2006 (during FIFA world cup).
WHAT Arrivals on runway 32R.
TIME Summers from ~12:30 till sunset.
Winters from ~ 10.30 till sunset.
MISC. Nothing nearby, take all you need with you. Ladder not required. Please do not leave any garbage/waste behind – you are in a nature reserve!
The branches of the trees are growing. So you have to go back the path to elevate the angle
Please note: If we take it real seriously you already left the “designated walking paths” by moving these 30m backwards from the Planitzweg. However, as this is a forest trail there is no danger by the amunition. By now no reports have reached me in which people got send away.
FOCAL LENGTH A319 ~ 450mm; A320/738 ~ 400mm; B767 ~ 250mm; B747-8 ~ 200mm

Fence/Driveway - Northern ramp + 14L Arrivals

WHERE This spot is literally nothing more than the walkway along the driveway of the departure floor at the airport or the grass mound at the apron along the fence. Why to come here? If you do not have time to go onto the terrace or it is closed for arrivals. Same for the ramp, if you are in hurry and do not wanna walk along the fence to spot 5. Then this spot is good, just park in P2 or P3/at spot 4 or the nearby gas station and quickly come here.
WHAT Arrivals on runway 14L as well as the northern apron.
TIME From later noon till sunset.
MISC. Everything you need is inside the nearby terminal or at the gas station. In summer, apron shots are often hazy – especially from the fence. Sometimes you will also struggle with ground stuff or parked airplanes in front along the fence. There you will need a small 1-2 step ladder to clear your view if you do not wanna shoot over the fence with live view.
FOCAL LENGTH 24-300m

I was pleasantly surprised with seeing the “south side” of the UPS terminal from point number 2. The car park along Kennedy Straße was empty (probably due to the current situation) but best to drive to near the exit gate to use a ticket machine to pay for the parking ticket.

Point 3 on top of the terminal was really good. I saw the other side of the UPS terminal, a lot of the passenger terminal, FedEx étc.

The “Parkplatz am Radarturm” parking area for number 8 and 9 is best used during the day. I arrived after sunset to see the UPS planes at the crash gate where there were quite a few males around a load of cars there. Spotters i thought, so parked on the other side of the parking area. Went to see the UPS at the crash gate and came back to see people lingering near / around my car. Drove off quickly. Did a google search, after dark the parking area is a dogging location. Best to keep that in mind…!

Can’t really recommend the new spot 17.
It is really far out. Focal length at least 500-600 mm on crop. Even for 747s. The angle is quite alright though. It is nice for watching as the position is slightly elevated and you can even see parts of the airfield. But I would not use it for spotting purposes.

Hi Sebastian, have you catched 32L or R from this postion? We recommend it for the 32L, not for R which is way too far.

Hi Julian,

ah got you. Guess I did not read the description properly concerning runway. As 32L is used so rarely I did not consider it.
So forget my comment, as I was trying to take pictures from 32R. So never mind. 😉

Best regards

Would any local CGN spotter be able to meet with 2 English spotters on Saturday October 4th to help with navigation of the airport to collect registrations of everything that is parked at the airport, including the cargo and general aviation aircraft please?
