Schrotty is Cologne’s cult off-location built on a former scrapyard in the Ehrenfeld/Bickendorf area. The site has been transformed into a modern venue while keeping its raw bones intact. Think stacked containers, hanging car shells, fire barrels, and heavy steel framing that wraps the dance floor in pure industrial energy.

Nights here feel like open-air warehouse raves with extra grit. Multiple floors and outdoor zones create natural flow between rooms, while the club’s big-system sound turns every drop into a gut punch. It’s regularly cited as one of Cologne’s most distinctive party spaces for electronic music, precisely because it still looks and feels like the scrapyard it once was.
