Deutz

Deutz is a district on the eastern Rhine bank in Cologne, combining modern buildings with traditional architecture along the riverfront. The mix of residential and commercial areas shapes the appearance of this dynamic neighborhood.

The Romans established a settlement called Divitia here around 12 BC, which developed into an important trading hub on the Rhine. Later, the area became a center of industrialization in the region.

The neighborhood has developed as a hub for museums and regular markets where visitors can discover local crafts and regional goods.

The Köln Messe/Deutz station connects the neighborhood to central Cologne through regular trains, trams, and pedestrian bridges across the Rhine. Good connections make it easy to explore the area or use it as a starting point.

The neighborhood was home to engine manufacturer DEUTZ AG, whose founding in 1864 strongly shaped the region's industrial growth. This factory operation defined the character of the place for many generations.
