Traditional inn Zum Treppchen” in Cologne is for sale!
A new gastronomic departure could be on the horizon in Cologne-Rodenkirchen: the traditional inn “Zum Treppchen” is for sale. This listed building, located directly on the Rhine, was built in 1856 and is one of the oldest restaurants in the city. After being vacant for almost a year, the restaurant is now officially being offered, reports the Cologne City Gazette.
The sales process is carried out through a real estate company and interested buyers can request further information. The sale includes an impressive area of 375 square meters, a spacious plot of 722 square meters with four parking spaces and a guest room that can accommodate around 190 guests. There are also two kitchens, storage rooms, modern sanitary facilities and a large terrace with around 300 seats, which is partially covered and has been equipped with a retractable roof.
The history of the “Treppchen”
The “Treppchen” has a long gastronomic tradition that goes back to the 17th century. It has been rebuilt several times and has been a popular meeting place over the decades. Stars such as former Federal President Walter Scheel and the Spanish King have already stopped here. Most recently, the restaurant was operated as a home-style restaurant with regional cuisine.
Unfortunately, operations had to be discontinued at the beginning of 2024 due to water damage, after a fire on the terrace in 2015 contributed to a long period of vacancy. The last comprehensive renovation took place in 2017, especially in the outdoor area and on the terrace, which increases the attractiveness of the restaurant. However, visitors can be pleased that the advertisement supposedly enables “immediate continued operation of the catering industry”. The inn is not only known for its cuisine, but also offers a relaxed atmosphere for various occasions, from family and company celebrations to atmospheric dinners.
The advantages of the project
The “Treppchen” offers numerous opportunities for aspiring restaurateurs who have their sights set on good business. With the large terrace and the excellent location on the Rhine, relaunching operations in this historic setting could be very successful. Due to the listed status, no energy certificate is required, which could bring additional advantages in the sales process.
The purchase price is not publicly stated in the advertisement, but interested parties can request all relevant documents to get an idea of this unique offer and possibly become part of Cologne-Rodenkirchen's gastronomy history. Anyone interested in the details and history of this historic restaurant can find further information in the Cologne Monument List, which offers interesting insights into the cultural diversity of the city.
