Beach volleyball Cologne: Fühlinger See courts
Cologne prefers beach volleyball by the water: Fühlinger See in the north is the address, joined by courts at other lakes, in parks and at clubs across the city.
The Rhine plain warms earlier than Munich — outdoor play often from April. In winter the sand moves under the air dome in Porz. Below: clubs, upcoming Rhineland tournaments and open games.

- Does Cologne's KVB reach the beach courts at Fühlinger See?
- Yes — the city rail toward Chorweiler / Fühlingen drops you at the lake; the beach baths are a short walk. Drivers should use the sports-ground parking on the north shore, not the residential streets.
- Which Cologne clubs rent out their sand courts?
- Several WVV clubs in Cologne and the surrounding area rent sand courts by the hour — often cheaper on weekdays than weekends. Which venues have open slots is in the list above; the app shows the same grid live.
- Do Cologne and the Rhineland share the same state federation?
- Yes. The Westdeutscher Volleyball-Verband (WVV) covers the Rhineland, Cologne included. Rankings and championships therefore cover Cologne, Bonn and the Bergisches Land — the same federation as Düsseldorf, not a Cologne-only body.
- Where is the public beach court in Cologne's Rheinauhafen?
- In the Rheinauhafen in the Südstadt, right on the Rhine bank. The beach volleyball court sits in public space — no booking, no fee, first come, first served. On warm evenings it fills up fast. Rheinauhafen Köln: health and fitness →
