Special agenda - special location!

Host your corporate or private event at one of Cologne’s internationally renowned KRANHÄUSER venues and delight your guests at the SESSEL HUB RHEINAUHAFEN with its spectacular Rhine views overlooking the adjacent marina.

Impressive and eye-catching

Awarded the Cologne Architecture Prize, the Kranhäuser dominate Cologne’s city skyline as you approach via the central Deutz Bridge and are a popular subject for national and international media. Gather with us on the ground floor of the KRANHAUS Nord at Cologne’s premier address for business purposes—whether for off-site meetings, conventions, trade show events, conferences, creative workshops, cooking events, networking gatherings, community/marketing events, or Christmas parties. Enjoy the unique harbor panorama alongside Microsoft, Birkenstock, the Kunsthaus Rhenania, renowned Michelin-starred restaurants, and more!

Gather & Celebrate with Social Impact

We regularly make our venue available for nonprofit senior gatherings. Would you like your company to take on social responsibility and actively involve your team? Put together a volunteer team! In partnership with 15 senior centers in Cologne, we’ll work with you to organize a charitable gathering for seniors featuring good conversation, cake, and fun activities that bring young and old together—to bring more joy to life in old age. The centers look forward to hearing from you.

Let our Cologne catering partner convince you with its culinary delights, which are characterized by the regionality and seasonality of the ingredients used and can best be described as "classic with that certain something". With meat and fish, only vegetarian and vegan, in a mix or regional Kölsch buffet - everything is possible. Bon appétit!
