Cologne - Disch-Haus

Cologne - Disch-Haus
The building has its name from the magnificent "Hotel Disch", a posh hotel, that opened here in 1848, one of the most internationally renowned hotels in Cologne. The hotel changed hands a couple of times, and after the last owner went bancrupt, the city acquired the building that got demolished.

Architects Bruno Paul and Franz Weber won a competition for the construction of a monumental municipal administration building, done in the style of "Neue Sachlichkeit" ("New Objectivity", "Nouvelle Objectivité"). It was opened in 1930 having 7 floors. It lost the two top floors dueing the air raids of WWII, so by now it has only 5 floors.
