Our first location is easily accessible in the middle of Cologne’s Südstadt district, and our second store is no less easily accessible in the city center.

But as with everything that is in the middle of something, it is not necessarily advisable to travel by car. Anyone who lives in a big city knows a thing or two about it. Fortunately, we have a good supply of buses and trains here – we have listed the best ones for you below.

Southern District / Südstadt branch

City center branch

Arrival by bus and train

Our recommendation!!!

Location Kartäuserwall / Südstadt

The best way to reach us is to take KVB (the mixed tram and subway system) lines 15 and 16, both of which stop at “Chlodwigplatz” and “Ulrepforte”.

Arriving at Chlodwigplatz

Walk towards the old city gate (Severinstorburg) and turn left at it. Enter the road calles Kartäuserwall. This is already our street. From here it is only a few steps to our location on the left-hand side. This will take you about 5 minutes.

For those familiar with the area, we also recommend exiting at Ulrepforte, which is a few steps less.

Which line do I take?

From the main station / city center / Neumarkt:

16 – in the direction of Bonn

Exit Ulrepforte (or Chlodwigplatz)

From Cologne South Station (Südbahnhof) / Barbarossaplatz:

15 – in the direction of Ubierring

16 – in the direction of Bonn

Exit Ulrepforte (or Chlodwigplatz)

From Bonn by streetcar:

The best way to reach us is to take KVB lines 9 or 1, 3, 4, 7, 16, 18. Line 9 really does stop right outside our door.

Exit Mauritiuskirche

If you are traveling in the direction of Kalk, our store is so conveniently located that the train driver can admire our shop window every time. If you were traveling in the other direction, go back 50m and change sides of the street. This takes a maximum of one minute.

Alternative: Exit at Neumarkt

Here you can arrive with a whole selection of lines.

Arrival by car

Location Kartäuserwall / Südstadt

Note: Parking directly in front of the store is currently not possible due to a construction site.

Please note that Kartäuserwall is a one-way street and that you can only reach us from the direction of Severinstor or Chlodwigplatz. You usually can also park directly in front of our gates (parking ticket machine on the opposite side, a hefty €4 per hour), but we cannot guarantee that you will find a parking space there.

If you are visiting us by car, please make sure you plan to find a parking space when you arrive. Alternatively choose a Taxi,

Parking spaces? Parking garages?

Quite a difficult topic in the area. There is a platform where people rent out their own parking spaces for a reasonable price. Have a look at “Ampido” – maybe there is something available!

Free parking is virtually impossible in Cologne city center. However, if you can’t avoid traveling by car (or to pick up the puzzle table), we have listed a few parking garages for you here. Here, too, you can expect to pay around €4 per hour, which is standard for Cologne.

If you are visiting us by car, please make sure you plan to find a parking space when you arrive. Alternatively choose a Taxi,
