Zwischen Himmel Und Rhein — Eine Außergewöhnliche Penthouse Maisonette Im Historischen Kölner Rheinauhafen

Some properties offer a place to live. Others offer an entirely different perspective on life.

Set within the historic Siebengebirge, one of the most distinctive architectural landmarks in Cologne’s prestigious Rheinauhafen district, this exceptional penthouse maisonette combines industrial heritage, contemporary luxury and breathtaking views of the River Rhine.

Originally part of Cologne’s historic harbour architecture, the building has been transformed into an exclusive residential address while preserving its remarkable industrial character. Listed steel structures, striking architectural details and a fascinating interplay of history and modern design give this residence a personality entirely its own.

Architecture That Inspires

Occupying the fifth and sixth floors, the approximately 138 sqm maisonette unfolds across two beautifully connected levels.

At its heart lies an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Expansive roof glazing floods the interior with natural light, creating a spectacular sense of openness. An elegant steel staircase connects the two levels, while beautiful solid wood parquet flooring adds warmth to the contemporary architecture.

From the living area, sweeping views across the Rhine and towards Cologne’s evolving Deutz harbour create an ever-changing backdrop.

The private rooftop terrace offers a sheltered outdoor retreat above the city – perfect for relaxed evenings, intimate dinners or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the waterfront.

Refined Living Across Two Levels

The lower level features a spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an elegant en-suite bathroom, complete with bathtub, generous walk-in shower and bidet. Two additional small balconies and a guest powder room complement this floor.

Upstairs, a further bedroom, a modern shower room and a separate utility room provide comfort and flexibility.

A dedicated gallery workspace offers an inspiring setting for working from home, with views towards the Rhine through the impressive roof glazing.

The residence is equipped with underfloor heating, air conditioning in both bedrooms, and app-controlled shading and climate features.

The beautifully appointed kitchen, with its generous cooking island and predominantly Miele appliances, integrates seamlessly into the open living space.

A Remarkable Address on the Rhine

Cologne’s Rheinauhafen is one of the city’s most fascinating urban neighbourhoods, where historic harbour buildings meet striking contemporary architecture.

Waterfront promenades, stylish restaurants, cafés, galleries and cultural attractions create a vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere. The charming streets of Cologne’s Südstadt are just moments away, while the historic city centre is within easy reach.

With excellent connections to Düsseldorf, Bonn and Cologne Bonn Airport, the location is equally appealing as a primary residence, an elegant city retreat or a sophisticated second home in Germany.

A Home for Those Who Appreciate the Exceptional

This is not simply an apartment defined by its size, location or amenities.

It is a residence defined by atmosphere, architectural individuality and the rare pleasure of living between the rooftops of Cologne and the River Rhine.

A place to discover. A place to experience. And perhaps, quite unexpectedly, a place to fall in love with.

Offered at €1,490,000, with an additional underground double-parking system available for €60,000.
