KölnTriangle, Skyscraper in Deutz, Cologne, Germany
The KölnTriangle is a 29-story skyscraper with a distinctive triangular footprint that rises more than 100 meters above the ground. The upper floors contain a glass-enclosed public observation deck that provides unobstructed views across the city.
The building was constructed between 2001 and 2005 as a modern office complex in the Deutz harbor area. Its completion marked a turning point in the development of the eastern Rhine bank as a business center.
The name refers to the building's triangular shape, which stands out distinctly in the Deutz district. It has become a recognizable landmark of modern Cologne's skyline and shapes the view from the eastern Rhine bank.
The public observation deck is easy to reach and offers resting areas with seating. Clear days are ideal for enjoying long-distance views across the Rhine valley and surrounding neighborhoods.
The observation deck offers a rare view of Cologne Cathedral from an unusual perspective across the Rhine. This vantage point shows the landmark in a different context than most visitors see it from traditional viewpoints.
