Commercial property to rent 4+1 • 215 m² without real estateKöln Innenstadt Nordrhein-Westfalen 50667

A fully operational, completely furnished and equipped hospitality business in one of Cologne’s most attractive city-centre locations is being offered for takeover.

The premises are currently operated as a café focused primarily on daytime trade. The existing business has documented sales figures, meaning that prospective operators do not have to rely solely on theoretical projections but can draw on established financial performance data.

The location’s considerable potential for further development is particularly attractive.

Thanks to the high level of pedestrian traffic, the existing café provides an excellent basis for expanding the daytime business.

In addition, the proximity to Cologne Opera, Schauspiel Köln and Theater am Dom creates further opportunities for an evening hospitality concept.

One particularly promising option would be to develop the premises into a high-quality café and wine bar offering speciality coffees, selected wines, aperitifs and light dishes. In addition to daily city-centre visitors, the target groups would include guests attending theatre and opera performances, both before and after the events.

A further advantage of the location is provided by the regular events held by Haus der Manufakturen.

Established wine, gin, whisky and other tasting experiences regularly attract additional visitors to the premises. This offers a future hospitality operator interesting opportunities to generate additional revenue through complementary food and beverage services.

The aim is to establish a long-term partnership under which selected events can continue to take place at contractually agreed times.

The fully furnished and equipped premises allow operations to continue at short notice. The feasibility of expanding the concept to include evening hospitality services has already undergone a preliminary assessment.

This offering therefore combines an established hospitality business with documented sales, high-quality equipment and attractive opportunities to develop additional revenue streams.

The hospitality premises are situated in a prime city-centre location at Breite Straße 28–30, directly next to the WDR Arkaden and in the heart of Cologne’s pedestrian shopping district.

Breite Straße is one of Cologne’s three busiest shopping streets. According to data collected by hystreet.com, approximately 9.3 million pedestrian movements were recorded here in 2025—an increase of around 6% compared with the previous year.

The surrounding area is characterised by well-known retail outlets, office locations, restaurants and cafés, as well as a diverse mix of professionals, shoppers, regular Cologne customers and international tourists.

The location is made even more attractive by its immediate proximity to Theater am Dom, Cologne Opera, which reopened in September 2026, and Schauspiel Köln at Offenbachplatz.

The Appellhofplatz light-rail station and several public car parks are within walking distance.

An exceptionally attractive city-centre location with high daytime footfall and additional potential generated by the surrounding cultural venues.

A total of approximately €185,000 has been invested in the fit-out, furnishings and hospitality equipment at the premises.

The property is available for lease exclusively in conjunction with the paid takeover of the existing, fully equipped hospitality business.

The required takeover payment is significantly lower than the original investment and therefore offers an attractive opportunity to acquire an established hospitality venue without the need for a comparable new investment.

Further information regarding the equipment, financial performance data and takeover terms is available to qualified prospective operators upon request.
