Hip, hipper, Ehrenfeld - there's a lot to discover in Ehrenfeld , which is why your favorite Ehrenfeld mouse a.k.a me, myself and I took a walk through the Veedel and explored the coolest spots for you. With a fritz-kola mischmasch in hand, I walked around my favorite corners together with my dear colleague Mariella. Now I'll tell you which places are my favorites!

Meeting point Körnerstraße

Perhaps the sweetest street in Ehrenfeld can be found as a cross street to Venloer. A colorful mix of small stores and cafés awaits you on Körnerstraße. Wine lovers can stop by the Imi Winery , others can stroll through the Körnerstraße market hall or pick up something nice for home at Utensil.

Walking through Körnerstrasse feels like walking through an exciting exhibition. Something special awaits you on every corner!

Nice To Know: BunkerK10 always hosts great exhibitions that you can visit for free!

📍 Körnerstrasse

⏰ Open around the clock

A café in the former hairdressing salon: Van Dyck

One of my favorite cafés on Körnerstraße in Ehrenfeld is definitely Van Dyck. In addition to the delicious coffee specialties, the ambience here is also impressive: The premises used to be a hairdressing salon some time ago. Van Dyck has incorporated the 50s charm of that time into the café & it looks pretty cool!

Körnerstrasse 43

⏰ Mon-Sat 9-19 & Sun 9-18

Veedeltreff in the Kaffeebud

You can also get delicious coffee at Kaffebud. This little place in the heart of Ehrenfeld is the perfect place for a coffee and a chat. You can get cappuccino, flat white & co. in the charmingly furnished four walls and probably even bump into someone you know!

📍 Glasstraße 62

⏰ Mon-Fri 9-18:30 & Sat-Sun 10-18:30

Strolling with fritz-kola mischmasch

There are probably as many kiosks in Cologne as there are currywurst and kebab stands in Berlin. It goes without saying that I grab a fun drink from a kiosk on my little Ehrenfeld tour. Between the large selection, my choice almost always falls on fritz-kola or fritz-spritz. This time, however, I tried something new and opted for the fritz-kola mischmasch . In addition to its new look, it has also been given a new recipe. Now it's time: An even more intense cola taste and lots of fruity flavors of orange, lemon and mandarin. Delicious!

Anyone who has the old bottle in mind will notice that the classic blue has been transformed into a colorful purple with summery yellow and orange. But one thing has of course remained the same: The environmentally friendly reusable glass bottle!

Definitely in my top five favorite drinks!

Borrowing instead of swapping at the Kleiderei

The same problem every morning in front of the closet - nothing to wear. If you're like me, you should definitely know about Kleiderei. Here you can simply borrow clothes for a monthly fee of €29 and then swap them for cool new outfits again and again. So you always have new favorite pieces in your wardrobe. NICE!

📍 Venloerstraße 459

⏰ Wed-Sat 12-19

Green oasis and cultural center

For a little break, I can only advise you to stop by the Leo-Amann-Park. This small green space in the middle of bustling Ehrenfeld is the perfect place to take a break from city life. Whether it's simply relaxing on the grass, playing a game of table tennis or rummaging through the bookcase to find a new read - anything is possible.

The Ehrenfeld community center is also waiting for you here. There you can sit down at Café Fridolin or attend one or two cultural events.

📍 Venloerstraße 429

⏰ The park is open around the clock/ BüZe Mon-Fri 10-13 & 14-17 and depending on the event
