Things to Do in Ehrenfeld, Cologne

Cologne's former industrial west, a dense, creative district centered on Venloer Straße and the railway arches. The colorful Central Mosque and Helios lighthouse punctuate a skyline of factories and apartment blocks, while clubs, Turkish groceries, and the street art around Körnerstraße turn industrial leftovers into a distinctly local cultural scene.
