About Lanxess Arena

Lanxess Arena is Cologne’s premier indoor multi‑purpose arena, located in the Deutz district along the Rhine. With a flexible seating design and a capacity tailored to the event—20,000 for concerts, 19,500 for handball, and 18,500 for hockey—it’s a top choice for international concerts, sports, and large-scale conventions. Since its renaming in 2008, the arena has hosted major events like the Kölner Haie hockey games, IEM Cologne esports, and European championships. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining to help you plan a smooth visit to this Cologne landmark.
