CONGRESS CENTRE EAST
A first-class event venue. Located in the grounds of Koelnmesse with facilities for all kinds of events. Plus an infrastructure with short distances which leaves no wishes unfulfilled.
A special plus: the location close to the city centre and optimal accessibility by all means of transport. Ten motorways lead directly to the grounds, which are adjacent to the ICE rail station Köln Messe/Deutz. The covered Messe Boulevard links the Congress Centre East with the Congress Centre North.

ATTENTION! CHANGING DRIVING CONDITIONS.
Probably until the end of 2017, the Kalk tunnel on the B55a between the Zoobrücke and the motorway junction Köln-Ost is being completely renovated. Throughout the entire construction phase the tunnel will only have two lanes open to traffic in each direction instead of the usual three. This will lead to traffic restrictions in the vicinity of our congress centers.
