Bonn

Meetings in a brewery
How about meeting in a brewery? This is possible in Bonn – in the rooms of the city's only traditional brewery – Brauerei Bönnsch.
In the basement of the brewery attendees can meet in two separate rooms. Among other things, you will find a piece of the Medieval city wall down there. The meetings package including four meeting drinks, two coffee breaks with snacks, lunch, space and technical facilities starts at 34 euros per person.
And when the day's work is done, the head brewer will take you on an exclusive tour of the brewery.

Cologne

Zeughaus
Cologne now boasts a new attractive event venue: the time-honoured Zeughaus. The municipal Zeughaus, built in 1600 in the style of the Dutch renaissance, housed the city's weapon arsenal and antiquities. After reconstruction following World War II, Zeughaus and the adjacent Alte Wache have been home to the municipal museum, which gives visitors insight into the intellectual and everyday life and business of the city of Cologne and its population from the Middle Ages until today.
Zeughaus is now a venue for anything extraordinary - thanks to its spectacular setting. Meetings, presentations or parties surrounded by magnificent silverware, suits of armour and a detailed model of the city, between teddy bears and Otto motors will be a lasting memory.
In the exhibition hall you can organise events with up to 250 people on a space of 1,000 sqm, Alte Wache offers 180 sqm of space for 50 to 150 people in a classicistic setting.
