Brettspiele Picknick - Der Open Air Spieleabend in deinem Veedel

The “Board Game Picnic” is your public open-air game night for board and party games, held every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month starting at 6 p.m.*/**.

Analog games. Real people. | Digital detox at its finest. Unwind and relax. | The day was exhausting enough. You’ve earned it!

Except for food, you don’t have to worry about a thing—we’ve got everything covered: tables, chairs, restrooms—and, of course, games. It’s all here! Want to bring your favorite game? No problem!

We have no minimum food or drink purchase, no game or rental fees, no registration, and no other hurdles. Grab one of the tables, grab a tablecloth (if you’d like), sit down, and let the fun begin.

FOOD & DRINK:

It’s best to bring your own drinks, snacks, and other food. A refrigerator is available for your use. Several convenience stores and a “Penny” supermarket are nearby. Alternatively, you’re also welcome to order something from Lieferando, Wolt, Flink, etc. Please note, however, that we don’t provide tableware such as plates, knives, forks, or spoons on-site.

OTHER INFORMATION:

Don’t worry about the weather. The venue is surrounded by high church walls and many trees, which provide a cool atmosphere. Of course, staying hydrated, wearing sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses never hurts when it’s very hot and the sun is strong. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll simply move to the community hall.

The address for Spieleglück is the courtyard of the “St. Pantaleon” community hall (across from “Jonas küchen | kultur | köln”) | Trierer Str. 2, 50676 Cologne

KVB Lines 3, 4, or 18:

"Poststraße" stop. From there, cross the "Stromberg" Bridge over the Rothgerberbach, walk up "Pantaleonstraße," and then follow "Waisenhausgasse" until the second intersection. Turn right again, and you’ll find the entrance directly across from “Jonas küchen | kultur | köln” on the right-hand side, set into the wall.

KVB Lines 12, 15, or 16:

Get off at the “Eifelstraße” stop. From there, walk past “Newzellas Backstube” and along “Waisenhausgasse” until you reach the second intersection. Turn left one more time, and you’ll find the entrance directly across from “Jonas küchen | kultur | köln,” set into the wall on the right-hand side.

Car, bike, and other modes of transportation:

Of course, you can also come by bike or e-scooter. You can simply park them in the courtyard behind the entrance gate (except for shared bikes or e-scooters—according to the providers, these must be parked in public spaces!).

Coming by car is, of course, no problem either. You can find parking spots in the area, for example, through private listings on the “Ampido” app.
