Everything worked perfectly. Only from the outside was it not immediately recognizable that the 24-hour kiosk is the described luggage storage.

Efficient and friendly, although shop was a bit cramped and not so easy to get bags through.

The location wasn't too far from the Central Station. The service was good. A card with a number was attached to the bags so they shouldn't get lost here

Quite a bit of walking with big luggage

Luggage storage across Cologne
Having hours between checkout and a late train can leave you anchored to your suitcase. We'll help you weigh the city's own storage against Stasher's network so you can wander the cathedral unburdened.
The city's main sights fall into two categories: the cathedral bars large luggage, while the museums and Lanxess Arena let you store most items for a fee. Transport hubs are easier, with an airport rail station linking you to the city centre in about a quarter of an hour. On the other side of the Rhine, Köln Messe-Deutz offers a limited number of lockers. Underground car parks at the Kölner Dom, Kölner Philharmonie, and Köln Hauptbahnhof also have luggage storage. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations across Cologne.

Arriving and leaving Cologne with luggage
Cologne Bonn Airport has its own railway station serving both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, so you can move from plane to train seamlessly. The airport connects to ICE, S-Bahn, regional train, and bus lines, including an express bus to Bonn Hauptbahnhof. The S19 S-Bahn runs from the airport to Köln Hauptbahnhof in about 14 minutes, and a one-way ticket costs €4.00 under the Rheinlandtarif.
Bag rules at Cologne's sights and venues
The Kölner Dom has the tightest rules: wheeled suitcases, trolleys, and large luggage are prohibited, and there's no storage on site — only bags up to 40 x 35 x 15 cm are permitted. Museum Ludwig and the Kollwitz Museum Köln both ask you to leave anything larger than 20 x 30 cm in a cloakroom or locker, though the Kollwitz puts suitcases in a separate lockable room.
Lanxess Arena bars bags and backpacks larger than DIN A4 (21 x 29.7 cm) and opens a paid cloakroom on Ebene 02 for bags, umbrellas, and outerwear. It typically opens 1.5 to 2 hours before the start of an event.
Getting around the city with bags
On KVB buses and trains, you'll need to secure your luggage so it doesn't roll or block boarding space — wheeled suitcases should be held onto during the journey. The KVB's Touren ohne Treppen map helps you find barrier-free routes and stations with elevators or ramps, which is useful when you're carrying a bag.
