Bastei, Architectural heritage restaurant in Neustadt-Nord, Cologne, Germany.
The Bastei building extends eight meters over the Rhine riverbank, featuring a steel upper floor and a pointed hood crown at the center.
Wilhelm Riphahn designed this expressionist structure in 1924, which underwent modifications in 1927 and required restoration after severe war damage in 1943.
The restaurant earned a Michelin star under Hans Herbert Blatzheim's management when it reopened in December 1958 after post-war reconstruction.
The building contains 300 square meters of usable space and previously accommodated up to 200 guests before its closure in 2019 due to structural issues.
The upper floor of the restaurant sits on a former Prussian military fortification from 1891, which once served as the entrance to Cologne's security harbor.
