2nd European Technical Coatings Congress 2014 Call for Papers

The 2000-year long history has had a strong influence on the cathedral city and made it what it is today – a vital and dynamic metropolis with a unique atmosphere. The Gürzenich – the name is derived from its former owner – became the representative and dance hall of the citizens of Cologne (15th century). After the renovation in 1997, the Gürzenich with its varied history and dignified overall impression, provides state-of-the-art event technology in combination with festive setting for stylish events. So we are looking forward to welcome you at this place.
