You have to see the old Hercules. Especially since the little Café Glück is right next to it in the summer 😉

Immer wieder schön anzusehen.

Walked past by chance. Nice crane. It is still very well maintained and worth a look.

The old Hercules is a historical monument from the old port facility and is the oldest Rhine crane in Cologne. Very nicely restored and a great photo object. Worth seeing.

Greatly restored crane, is a listed building.

Beautiful historic harbor crane with a mobile café and seating on the Rhine (when it is open).

Listed revolving crane with an interesting history.

Toller alter Kran. Komischerweise stehen daneben noch ein anderer Kran, der garnicht bezeichnet wird.

Very elaborately restored crane. Located directly on the Rhine. We went on a bike tour and it's a good idea to take a detour. As far as I know you can't enter it.

The Cologne harbor crane Hercules is not only an impressive piece of engineering art, but also the real hero on the banks of the Rhine. This colossus, named after the mythological hero, not only handles containers, but also the expectations of maritime performance with impressive ease. Hercules is the muscle-bound superstar of the Cologne port, who turns the Rhine into a 'strength gym' for heavy loads. His performance is more than just lifting loads - it is a dance of technology where every turn and every lift is a tribute to the powerful elegance of a harbor crane. In the world of harbor cranes, Hercules could also be called the ‘crane master’. Its presence at the Cologne harbor is not only impressive, but also a faithful companion for ships looking for a port in stormy waters. The Cologne harbor crane Hercules - a literal and metaphorical giant on the Rhine that shows that difficult work can also be done easily.

Nice crane

Nice place to stay at the southern end of the Siebengebirge (old warehouses, now modern commercial and residential buildings) directly on the Rhine, with a view of the cathedral, the crane houses in the Rheinnauhafen, Deutz on the right bank of the Rhine and the south bridge to Rodenkirchen.
