Staatenhaus Köln

Staatenhaus Köln is an event center in Deutz featuring parallel halls, a colonnade, and red brick architecture. The building extends along the Rhine riverbank with open arch structures that create flexible spaces for various types of events and gatherings.

The building was constructed in the 1920s as a pavilion for the 1928 Pressa exhibition, providing display spaces for participating nations. It was restored following wartime damage and has since functioned as an events venue.

The building once served as a showcase for international galleries and large-scale art exhibitions. Today, it hosts cultural projects and festivals that draw visitors from throughout the region.

The venue sits directly on the Rhine riverbank and is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. Visitors should plan to arrive early during large events, as crowds can build up quickly in the entrance areas.

The building temporarily housed the Cologne Opera and was briefly converted into a musical theater space. This unexpected use reveals how the protected monument adapted to serve different cultural needs beyond its original purpose.
