Welcome to the Spanischer Bau! Learn more about this significant building, which was destroyed in the Second World War but rebuilt in the 1950s. Originally known as the "Neues Rathaus" (New Town Hall), it once served as a meeting place of the Spanish League during the Thirty Years' War and later housed courts and offices of the city administration. After a comprehensive renovation from 2001 to 2003, the building today presents itself in its historic splendour. On this guided tour, explore the history, art and architecture that make the Spanischer Bau a fascinating part of Cologne's heritage.
