The “Brauerei zur Malzmühle” opened over 160 years ago and remains a genuine family brewery, managed today by the fifth generation of the Schwartz family. The second oldest brewery in Cologne is one of the few that still produces at its place of origin – at the center of the old town at the Heumarkt square, at the very heart of the cathedral city. The historic brewhouse is one of the most popular meeting points for friends of the cologne tradition and culture. Furthermore to the “Brauerei zur Malzmühle” belongs a restaurant, a bar and a hotel – all in one house!
