The history of the Wolkenburg
That is what the Wolkenburg can experience in its glory today, thanks primarily to the great commitment of its owners, the old and venerable Cologne Men's Choir (Kölner Männergesangverein).https://www.kmgv.de/).
In search of new premises for their association, the gentlemen took over the building, which had been largely destroyed by the war, from the city of Cologne, with the stipulation that it be rebuilt in its original form. And they did just that with determination and a great sense of appreciation for this beautiful old building.
We, that is to say the Wolkenburg GmbH, were very fortunate in 1987 when we were allowed to operate a gastronomic bankthaus here as tenants.
From 2002 onwards, we saw the need to systematically renovate and bring the Wolkenburg building to the latest standards on both the inside and the outside. This involved not only the complete redesign of the rooms and the toilets, but also the comprehensive renovation of the kitchen.
Today, we are very happy with the constructive and harmonious collaboration over 32 years with the club. During this time, we were able to bring the Wolkenburg to new glory, preserve it as a historical event venue for Cologne, and make it accessible to everyone.
