The Kölner Philharmonie is a symphonic concert hall located in Cologne, Germany. It is part of the building assemble of the Museum Ludwig and was opened in 1986. The Kölner Philharmonie is located close to the Cologne Cathedral and the Cologne Main Station. The ensemble was designed by the architects Busmann + Haberer in the 1980s.
The concert hall was made like an Amphitheatre, to get a close to perfect room acoustic. Therefore, there are no walls which are in parallel to each other, to produce no echo. Size and art of the padding for the seats (the seats were made by the German manufacturer Recaro, which is known for making car [sports] seats) is selected in a way, that the acoustic quieting is constant, independently of the fact if the seat is used by a person or not.
Love both the sound and the hall. Staff is extremely polite and friendly. Program often includes the biggest names in classical music of our days. Easy to reach on foot from the station, so evening program is achievable for people from outside Köln as well. A true gem.

Beautiful concert hall near the center of Cologne. Went here for a Nils Frahm concert, and absolutely loved it. One strange thing, they have staff running around warning people that it is forbidden to take pictures. I can understand this during the concert, but prior to the concert? Can't think of a single reason...

Great place. The philarmonic is really good and the concert hall has an amazing sound and is very comfortable. There are bathrooms, wardrobe and wheelchair accessible seats. There are often free concerts on Thursdays at 12.30, just check the website for info and show up if it is the case.

The WDR Big Band plays here regularly, so that means this philharmonic hall gets five stars. Great acoustics and lots of good seating options; I'd say any of the seats are worth their money! Quite a steep incline to the top, so I'd assume accessibility is a bit more difficult for older people who have trouble with stairs.
