The German Sport & Olympic Museum in the center of Cologne presents the world of sports from antiquity to modern times over an area of more than 2000 m². Located in a historic customs building right on the Rhine River, you can experience a fascinating journey through 2500 years of sports and Olympic history with unique exhibits ranging from Greek athletics to professional sports of the 21st century. Regular special exhibitions showcase both current and historical topics. You can expect a lively and varied exhibition. From our collection of more than 120,000 exhibits, we present over 2,000 original objects: the soccer shoes of "Kaiser Franz," Boris Becker´s tennis racket, Max Schmeling´s world champion ring, Michael Schumacher´s Benetton Renault, numerous Olympic torches, and medals. What would the German Sport & Olympic Museum be without athletic activities? Whether playing soccer or basketball on Cologne´s highest sports field, testing your punching power in the boxing ring, standing in line as in the days of Turnvater Jahn, or pedaling in the wind tunnel - experience what makes sports so exciting!
