Kanzler-Teehaus

Kanzler-Teehaus is a garden tea house in the Palais Schaumburg park on the Rhine riverbank, featuring an underground chamber of about 25 square meters, a small kitchen, and a terrace facing the water. The structure connects functional rooms with an open view of the landscape.

The structure was built in 1955 at Konrad Adenauer's request, replacing an earlier garden pavilion by Johann Georg Eberlein. It became a meeting space for chancellors conducting official discussions.

German chancellors used this pavilion to meet with high-ranking officials, journalists, and international guests for important discussions. Meetings here shaped key moments in post-war German history.

No special preparation is needed for a visit, as the 1950s interior design speaks for itself through its layout and furnishings. The location on the riverbank with surrounding paths makes it easily accessible to explore.

In June 1989, Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev held discussions here about German reunification. This meeting was a pivotal moment that would reshape the continent's political future.
