Vineyard

In Cologne’s Südstadt district, the historic inner courtyard of the Carthusian Church opens its gates again from the end of April for a special temporary vineyard. Nestled within the calm architecture of the former monastery grounds, a green oasis emerges here year after year in the heart of Cologne, harmoniously combining enjoyment and social commitment.

Between old walls, cloisters, and mature trees, you can enjoy carefully selected wines, along with a chilled Kölsch or Wiess straight from the bottle. Plenty of seating invites you to spend the evening outdoors – relaxed, sociable, and deliberately low-key. Instead of event buzz, you can expect an atmosphere that leaves room for conversation and allows you to truly experience the unique charm of this historic setting.

The concept goes beyond culinary pleasure: after covering costs, all proceeds flow into charitable projects, driven entirely by volunteer commitment. Every visit directly supports social initiatives in Cologne. Regional, uncomplicated dishes complement the selection and make the vineyard an authentic meeting place for locals and visitors alike.

In this way, the vineyard of the Carthusian Church becomes more than just a summer spot to indulge – it is a reflection of lived community in Cologne and shows how naturally joie de vivre and responsibility come together here.
