Colonia-Haus

Colonia-Haus is a modern residential tower in Riehl spanning 45 floors and reaching 147 meters high. It houses roughly 373 residential units of varying sizes along with commercial spaces and shared facilities in the lower levels.

Construction took place between 1970 and 1973 and represented an impressive technical achievement at the time. The building held this leading status until 2001, when another tower overtook the record.

The building has shaped the neighborhood for decades as a notable residential complex where owners and renters live together. The mix of different apartment types created from the start a social place for various groups.

Access is available through multiple entrances, and fast elevators connect all floors throughout. Visitors should note that the lower levels contain commercial areas that may operate at varying times.

The top floor contains an event space available for hire by visitors. The ground floor includes a restaurant offering views of the Rhine River.
