The DEG Winterwelt ice rink, affectionately known as "Kö on Ice," is set to return to the heart of Düsseldorf from November 7, 2025, to January 11, 2026. Situated in the bustling city center on Königsallee, this popular winter attraction offers ice skating for all ages and abilities[1].

For those who prefer a more traditional winter sport, four lanes have been set up for ice stock shooting on a plastic surface, a thoughtful decision made for environmental and energy-saving reasons[1].

The Füchschen-Alm, a charming two-story Alpine terrace, is an integral part of the Winterwelt. It provides a picturesque setting for visitors to relax and unwind[1]. The gastronomy at the event has been redesigned, offering a variety of hearty food options such as sandwiches, goulash in a bread bowl, hot soups, cake for coffee, and mulled wine called 'Glühkirsch'[1].

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the organizers have implemented numerous safety measures to ensure a secure and enjoyable visit. However, specific details on mask mandates, distancing, or vaccination requirements were not provided[1]. The focus remains on safety and responsibility, though the exact protocols are yet to be announced[1].

Visitors are encouraged to check the official DEG Winterwelt website or local announcements closer to the event dates for up-to-date scheduling and COVID-19 guidelines[1].

The ice rink is illuminated by around 5000 lights in the evening, signalling the start of the pre-Christmas season in Düsseldorf. The terrace offers seating for up to 500 people, with 108 seats, providing ample space for everyone[1].

For those looking to unwind after a long day, DJ Dubbelmann plays at the after-work event from 6 to 10 pm on Wednesdays to Saturdays at the DEG Winterwelt[1].

School classes often use the ice rink for their physical education classes in the morning, making it a truly community-focused event[1].

Skates are available for rent in all sizes at the ice rink, ensuring that no one is left out of the fun[1].
