This is where we work

Our headquarter is located in beautiful Cologne-Ehrenfeld on the Vulkan grounds, a former gas lamp factory. The grounds have an attractive and lively campus where you can even spend a lunch break outside. The grounds are well connected by bike, public transport and car. On top of this, the lively city at the Rhine River is an attractive metropolis with a wide range of cultural activities far beyond carnival, private television and football.
