In the Köln-Kalk on the right bank of the Rhine, on the site of the ‘Hallen Kalk’ at Ottmar-Pohl-Platz, there are also the so-called Kulturhallen (location map number 75, 76 .77, see link below), which are among the industrial monuments in Cologne. Halls 75 and 76 were built at the beginning of the 20th century, Hall 77 was built between 1872 and 1905, after damage due to the 2. During the World War, the halls were partially renovated and rebuilt. The halls were initially used as industrial halls (control cabinets, workshop/mechanical engineering) and from the 90s as cultural halls (rehearsal venue/playground Schauspiel Köln, exhibitions of the Museum Ludwig). The ensemble of buildings has been a listed building since 1992. Currently, only Hall 75 is used as a rehearsal stage for the drama of the city of Cologne, the other two halls are empty. The City of Cologne wishes to reactivate these halls and conducts this market exploration in order to obtain an initial overview of potential market participants and initial solutions. The aim is to make the halls fit for the future and make good use of them in terms of urban development policy – ideally with a focus on culture, creative economy or the common good. According to current considerations, the City of Cologne would hand over the properties under heritable building law or by sale to a third party who would take over the development, renovation and operation of the halls. If, after the market exploration, the city decides to award a concept for the plots, projects that tap the potential of the halls for cultural use and think about opening them up to the neighbourhood would be particularly welcomed, for example through publicly accessible offers, cooperation with local actors or participatory formats. The combination of cultural identity and urban integration is a central concern of the city if it decides to leave the areas to a third party. In addition, the quality of the concept, its long-term feasibility, its integration into the local context and the willingness to open up and culturally revitalise the district would be decisive in the event of a concept award. The city is looking for professional, experienced actors who realize their concept independently and without financial participation of the city, in addition to private-sector investors, this can also be non-profit initiatives, foundations or land funds via culture-based cooperatives as well as interested actors from the real estate development, cultural economy or foundation landscape.
