What a wedding
can look like here
Brick, steel beams and glass set a frame, not a style. What you make of it is your decision — these are the directions that work best here:
Industrial wedding
The hall stays as it is: brick wall, exposed beams, industrial windows. Add dried flowers, candles and long tables. The room does the decorating, not the other way round.
Civil ceremony in Cologne
The ceremony under the trusses, with daylight through the industrial windows. While the drinks reception runs outside, the hall is rearranged for dinner.
Modern wedding with coloured light
When evening comes, the lighting takes over. The same hall in violet, pink or warm amber — from dinner into the party, without anyone changing rooms.
Large wedding party
200 guests seated at round tables, up to 400 for a reception. Even the big family fits on one level.
Frequently asked questions
about weddings at Bauwerk
How many wedding guests fit into Bauwerk?
Up to 400 guests on one level. Seated at round tables in banquet style it is 200 people — a long table running through the hall is arranged differently.
Can the ceremony take place in the building?
Yes. The ceremony happens under the trusses, with daylight through the industrial windows. While the drinks reception runs outside, the hall is rearranged for dinner — the guests never have to change venue.
