Funkhaus


Welcome to the café in the WDR Funkhaus!

The Funkhaus – Café, Bar, Restaurant – reflects the diversity of Cologne's vibrant center. Located near the Cologne Cathedral and just a short distance from the Cologne Central Station, we welcome guests from all over the world daily.

The Funkhaus is a stylish boulevard café in the heart of Cologne's city center, perfect for meeting friends, an evening with business partners, or taking a shopping break with a glass of champagne or a cappuccino.

In the evening, the Funkhaus transforms into a modern restaurant with an exquisite bar. For a refined dinner, we offer both German cuisine classics like our Königsberger Klopse, as well as hand-minced beef tartare, pink-cooked veal sirloin, grilled salmon steak, or our sensational truffle pasta.

Our bar is pleased to serve you an aperitif beforehand or one of our creative espresso martini variations as an after-dinner drink.

Light dishes, served right in the heart of the Cathedral City

Another outstanding feature of the Funkhaus Cologne is its fantastic bar

Immerse yourself in a world of timeless elegance and exquisite indulgences. The large bar, with its backlit counter, is the true highlight of the Funkhaus. Our experienced bar team serves countless classic cocktails alongside their own creations, including a variety of espresso martini variations.

A must-try is our milkwashed New York Sour, the Spicy Mezcal Paloma, Dragonfly, or the reimagined classic Pornstar Martini. Our excellent selection of wines, finest French champagne, or a freshly tapped Kölsch perfectly rounds off the offering.

History


A place in the history of West German Radio

The Funkhaus on Wallrafplatz, built between 1948 and 1952 on the ruins of the bombed-out Hotel Monopol, was a major architectural project of the post-war period. Inaugurated on June 21, 1952, it was considered the most modern radio building in Europe.

The Funkhaus - Cafe, Bar, Restaurant - is designed in the style of the 1950s, based on the former tea room, which was a popular meeting place. High windows and lots of light characterize the room. Photos from the WDR Funkhaus in the 1950s take guests back in time.
