Knippschild Werk 2 Cologne

Gastropub in Köln Dellbrück

"Knippschild Werk 2 is a rather small family-run restaurant with 30 seats inside and 18 seats in the biergarten, and multiple kinds of Schnitzel!"

Knippschild Werk 2 is where I take my family and friends when they visit from Belgium and I want to introduce them to the Kölsch culture and hospitality. Indeed, the staff at Knippschild Werk 2 are friendly and attentive: you will never run out of Kölsch!

Knippschild Werk 2 is a rather small, family-run restaurant with 30 seats inside and 18 in the beer garden at the front. If you want to be on the safe side, you can book a table. The menu is small, with regional and German classics such as Halven Hahn (rye bread with cheese) and several types of schnitzel from €15 to €18.5. There are also daily specials such as beef stew with chips and mayonnaise.

If you go to Knippschild Werk 2 during the Cologne Carnival (on 11 November and in February/early March), you will have the chance to take part in one of their carnival performances. You can also check their website for other live performances. Knippschild Werk 2 is a 13 minute walk from Köln Dellbrück station, which is a 14 minute train ride from Cologne Central Station (S11). While in Cologne Dellbrück, you can also go for a walk in the Dellbrücker Heide nature reserve or buy raw milk cheese at Käseglück.

St. Aposteln

Colourful frescoes in the old town

What struck me the most were the frescoes in the three apse ceilings by Hermann Gottfried. These powerful frescoes bring colors and dynamism to the church.
