BÜRGERHAUS.QUADRATH is an event house in Bergheim-Quadrath, west of Cologne, that can host gatherings of up to 1,000 people as well as small meetings. The building has four rooms that can be used separately, and its main hall, the Großer Saal, can be divided with partition walls. It suits conferences, assemblies, company meetings and larger celebrations organized by one client.
Seminars and company events
The house describes itself as suitable for almost any event, from large conferences to meetings of a few people. Because the four rooms work independently, an organizer can book one room for a plenary session and keep a second for workshops or a lunch break. The Großer Saal has a fixed stage and can be split into smaller sections according to the size of the group. Technical support and professional equipment are available on request.
Rooms and capacities
The Großer Saal covers 616 m². The venue publishes capacities by layout: 778 people in rows, 320 in a parliamentary setup, 640 at banquet tables, 512 at group tables, 150 in a U-shape and 1,000 unseated. The rooms page also lists the Kleiner Saal and the Foyer. The official site presents a fourth space in its overview without naming it in the text we read, so check the room plan when you request a visit. The Großer Saal is the only room with published figures.
The building is step-free throughout, which matters for guests with reduced mobility. A 360° virtual tour is available on the website, and a site visit can be arranged through the contact form.
Catering
Catering is not tied to a single provider. Organizers choose their own catering service, which lets them match the meal to the event, from a coffee break to a seated dinner. Ask the venue about kitchen access and technical requirements for the caterer you select.
Getting there
The house stands on Graf-Beissel-Platz in the district of Quadrath-Ichendorf, in Bergheim, within the triangle formed by Cologne, Düsseldorf and Aachen. The Quadrath-Ichendorf station is a three-minute walk from the entrance. The motorway is close, and there is ample parking next to the building, which is useful for groups arriving by car.
A seminar day here works well for a company based in the Rhineland that wants a venue outside central Cologne, with room for a large audience and straightforward access by train or road. There are no bedrooms on site, so overnight guests need a hotel in the area, and the website keeps a hotel list for this purpose. For a conference with several hundred participants, the combination of a divisible hall, a stage and a foyer gives room for registration and informal exchanges between sessions.
When preparing a request, state the number of guests, the preferred layout and whether you need the stage and the technical equipment. The venue publishes a rental page, a price page and floor plans for download, and a references list for organizers who want to see past events. Mention your date range early, since a large hall is often reserved for local events well in advance.
