HALLENGE EM
A passenger train collided with a freight train in the town of Meerbusch, according to reports.
In a tweet, the Meerbusch fire department said rescuing people from the train was the main priority.
It estimated that there were 150 people on board at the time of the crash. Meerbusch is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state.
Meerbusch fire department said that its staff were "in contact with the people on the train", adding that full access to the passengers "should be possible".
The accident occurred at about 19:30 local time (18:30 GMT), according to a statement from Germany's state-owned railway group Deutsche Bahn.
A police spokesman earlier told German broadcaster ARD that about 50 people had been injured in the train crash.
The cause of the collision is not yet clear.
