Ulrepforte for events in Cologne’s Südstadt
Located in the heart of Cologne’s Südstadt and formerly part of the medieval city wall, the Ulrepforte offers an unparalleled setting for events of all kinds.
Whether a festive wedding, business meeting, conference, presentation, Christmas party or private occasion – this traditional venue impresses with a unique mix of historic ambience and modern facilities.
First mentioned in 1245, the Ulrepforte was lovingly restored and technically upgraded to the latest standards in 2022. It combines historic architecture with state-of-the-art event technology and professional service.
Modern event spaces with history
At the Ulrepforte, you have access to flexibly combinable rooms:
- The Upper and Lower Guardroom for business events, private celebrations or cultural formats
- The wedding room in the tower or the step-free Upper Guardroom for civil ceremonies
- The spacious light courtyard with adjoining foyer for stylish champagne receptions, exhibitions or breaks
Thanks to modular room concepts, step-free access and experienced on-site event support, the venue can be tailored precisely to your needs – from an intimate celebration in a small circle to a larger reception.
The historic ensemble also provides an impressive backdrop for film and photo shoots – whether a modern production or romantic storytelling.
