Tracks 1 and 2 are used for S-Bahn traffic, tracks 3 and 4 for regional traffic.
Cologne-Ehrenfeld is a scheduled stop for all regional services passing through it.
Not far from the station is the Venloer Straße/Gürtel underground station of the Cologne Stadtbahn.
The Cologne-Aachen high-speed railway crosses Ehrenfeldgürtel (Ehrenfeld belt), part of the Cologne ring road, at Köln-Ehrenfeld Cologne station.

In and around Köln-Ehrenfeld station, the railway runs on a viaduct.
Some arches of this viaduct were formerly used as storage space, others were neglected.
There were also problems with moisture penetration.
The arches were to be refurbished in 2015, with self-supporting inner shells.
Subsequently, a private investor was to create a shopping mile with restaurants.
There is currently a discotheque in three of the arches.
