District

Deutz

Part of borough Innenstadt

Deutz is the only part of Cologne's city district 1 (Innenstadt) on the right bank of the Rhine and, at more than 524 hectares, also its largest. Grown from a Roman fort, it remained an independent town until its incorporation in 1888, with Poll, Kalk and Vingst long belonging to its mayoralty. Today the quarter is best known for the Koelnmesse trade fair, the Lanxess Arena, the headquarters of media company RTL Deutschland and the Köln Messe/Deutz railway station.
