[DE] "Atemberaubender Blick auf der Schäl Sick vom
Köln Triangle

Seit 2006 ist Köln um eine Attraktion reicher, und der Dom hat Konkurrenz bekommen: der KölnTriangle und seine 400 Quadratmeter große Aussichtsplattform bieten von der rechten Rheinseite aus einen einmaligen Ausblick über Köln und auf den Kölner Dom.

Mit 103,20 m Höhe und einer Fassade aus Glas und Aluminium zieht die markante Silhouette des KölnTriangle am rechten Rheinufer Kölns den Blick jedes Betrachters automatisch an.

Der Turm dient zwar vor allem als Bürogebäude, verfügt auf der 29. Etage aber auch über die große Plattform, die einen faszinierenden Blick über die Domststadt bietet: der Dom erscheint zum Greifen nah, das linke Rheinufer mit der Altstadt, der Kirche Groß St. Martin, dem Museum Ludwig und zahlreichen weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten präsentieren sich den Besuchern aus einer ganz neuen Perspektive. Bei passender Witterung ist in der Ferne Düsseldorf sowie das Siebengebirge gut zu sehen, der Blick reicht aber auch weit bis in das Bergische Land.

Mehr als 100 Meter über Köln bieten sich zudem buchstäblich überragende Möglichkeiten für Veranstaltungen aller Art: denn in der 27. und 28. Etage befindet sich der "KölnSKY". Er beinhaltet auf den beiden Etagen exklusive Veranstaltungsräume mit jeweils 400 Quadratmeter Fläche. Gut zu wissen: Im "KölnSKY" kann auch standesamtlich geheiratet werden."

[EN] "Breathtaking view of the Schäl Sick from the
Cologne Triangle

Since 2006, Cologne has had one more attraction to rival the cathedral: the KölnTriangle and its 400 square meter viewing platform offer a unique view over Cologne and Cologne Cathedral from the right bank of the Rhine.

With a height of 103.20 m and a façade made of glass and aluminum, the striking silhouette of the KölnTriangle on the right bank of the Rhine in Cologne automatically draws the eye of every observer.

Although the tower primarily serves as an office building, it also has a large platform on the 29th floor that offers a fascinating view over the cathedral city: the cathedral appears close enough to touch, while the left bank of the Rhine with the old town, the Church of St. Martin, the Ludwig Museum and numerous other sights present themselves to visitors from a completely new perspective. If the weather is right, Düsseldorf and the Siebengebirge mountains can be seen in the distance, but the view also extends far into the Bergisches Land region.

More than 100 meters above Cologne, there are also literally outstanding opportunities for events of all kinds: the "KölnSKY" is located on the 27th and 28th floors. It contains exclusive event rooms on both floors, each with 400 square meters of space. Good to know: Civil weddings can also be held in the "KölnSKY"."
