The Kranhaus office space occupies the third and fourth floors of one of three iconic 21st century waterfront buildings designed to be reminiscent of harbor cranes that could once be found along the River Rhine. Kranhaus1, like its two neighboring 17-floor tower buildings, is shaped like an inverted letter 'L' and was designed by architects Bothe, Richter and Teherani.

The Kranhaus office space occupies the third and fourth floors of one of three iconic 21st century waterfront buildings designed to be reminiscent of harbor cranes that could once be found along the River Rhine. Kranhaus1, like its two neighboring 17-floor tower buildings, is shaped like an inverted letter 'L' and was designed by architects Bothe, Richter and Teherani. Kranhaus1 won an MIPIM (the annual international property trade show) award shortly after its construction was completed. Their striking landmark architecture symbolizes the regeneration of the Rheinauhafen area along the Rhine just south of the city's historic old town. Rheinauhafen now boasts creative industry companies, law firms and museums. Cologne's economy features strong insurance and media companies and is also an important research centre and home to a number of corporate headquarters. The city's river ports and airport freight traffic make Cologne a major trade city.
