Essigfabrik, Event venue in Deutz, Germany
Essigfabrik is a concert and event venue in two halls on Siegburger Straße 110, directly by the Deutzer Hafen in Cologne-Deutz. The halls together cover 850 m² and hold up to 1200 visitors; the larger hall 1 alone measures 635 m² and seats just over 800 spectators. The name comes from the vinegar production once carried out here.
The building began as a vinegar production facility in the early 1900s and served this purpose for many decades. It was later converted into an entertainment venue towards the end of the 20th century.
The name recalls the site's vinegar production, run under the firm Max Spiegelberg from 1 July 1913. Today the halls host family celebrations, product presentations, corporate meetings, congresses and carnival events alongside concerts. The Euroblast Festival and the Never Say Die! Tour have taken place here.
The venue sits on Siegburger Straße 110 directly by the Deutzer Hafen, with bus and train stops nearby. Two halls share 850 square metres of event space, the larger hall alone covering 635 square metres for around 800 spectators. The planned redevelopment of the harbour into a residential quarter is set to incorporate the old concert hall.
The site's name comes from the Max Spiegelberg spirit and wine vinegar works, which operated here from 1 July 1913. The two halls together cover 850 m²; the larger hall alone measures 635 m² and holds around 800 spectators. As part of the planned conversion of the Deutzer Hafen into a residential quarter, the old vinegar factory's concert hall is to be integrated into the new neighbourhood.
