The Night Café is looking for you !

Without a place to live in winter? The homeless chaplaincy is urgently looking for support for the "Night Café".

For the people without a home living on the streets in Cologne, the nights in winter will be brutally hard. That is why the pastoral care for homeless people in Cologne is organising the "Night Café" from now until March 2023: Every night, homeless people can spend the night in the warmth of a church parish.

For the nights from Thursday to Friday, this offer takes place, for example, in the church for homeless people ("Gubbio") Ulrichgasse 27-29, 50678 Cologne.

For this and also for the other nights we are urgently looking for helpers (18 years and older).

The task: Reception of the homeless around 9 pm, offering a small snack, overnight stay in the church or community centre, offering breakfast, closing the church/centre around 8 am. During this engagement you will have an amazingly positive and new experience.

If you would like to help, please contact Sister Christina at info@gubbio.de or call 0173/ 5709617.

On Thursday, 9 November, there will also be a Zoom meeting at 6 p.m., where you will get more information about the field of activity, experiences and impressions of the last years and can ask your questions.

You can register for this at the Mentorat here

Sustainability on Stage

For our international students and, of course, all other interested parties, the theatre group "Wild Roots" of the TH Köln offers a full-day workshop in English on 6th November 2022 in the auditorium of the KHG.

Semester Kick-Off

We cordially invite you to our semester opening and introduction of the new pastoral team for pastoral care for the university and youth in Cologne. 

We will start with the opening service in the KHG Church, the choir „fiat ars“ will provide the musical accompaniment, and then continue to celebrate at our premises with food and drinks. 

When? Thursday, 20th October um 6pm Where? At your KHG

We are looking forward to a lively exchange with you ! 

Your KHG Team 

Welcome to the KHG

The KHG is a place of encounter for all those who study and work at Cologne's universities - regardless of their field of study, type of university or denomination.

With our offer we would like to complement and enrich the time you have available besides studying, learning and working and at the same time create space for the realisation of your own projects, ideas, plans and intentions. Because the KHG lives from the Togetherness of peoplewho shape it.

Get to know each other, discuss, exchange: This is what the KHG wants to support. In the educational program we invite experts to talk with us about current topics; in the spiritual program we exchange views on questions of Christian faith. But also among ourselves we often stay together until late to talk about God and the world. Conviviality is very important to us: Whether we cook together, go to the museum, do sports, travel together or celebrate - we want to make it possible for students from a wide range of disciplines to meet and get to know each other. Our rooms are available to you for this purpose: as a venue for events, but also as a quiet place to write homework, to chat and snack, to work and craft, to make music and meditate.

Of course, we invite you to join in the celebration and participation at our God:Time every Thursday at 6pm. If you want to try out innovative liturgy formats, this is the place to be.

Another big area is our counselling: On the one hand, we advise you on all problems and questions that arise around your studies and university and try to find solutions together. On the other hand, we also have time for you if you simply need someone to talk to in order to get clarity in a life situation that is important to you. Just talk to us or write to us!

Last but not least, we are also there for concerns when it comes to church scholarships and sponsorship for students from all over the world.

Sport & Spirit – Badminton

Sport as a mirror of our society?! Well, it all depends on who is looking in! Do you want a sports programme that is geared towards you and your community? Do you want to meet new people in Cologne in a casual atmosphere ?

Then we cordially invite you to our sports programme, always on Tuesdays between 6.30 pm and 10 pm in the KHG sports hall, directly opposite the KHG Centre.

Here, students organise themselves which sports to focus on. You have access to a state-of-the-art and well-equipped sports hall. Badminton is currently offered in several groups.

Off we go!

Give it a go, close your laptop for 2 hours and join us for some sport!

CRUX Kirche

Der Schiefe Turm von Köln

Seitdem der Kirchturm der Kirche CRUX-Kirche St. Johann Baptist im September 2004 durch den U-Bahnbau kippte, war er bekannt als der „Schiefe Turm von Köln“. Das Kippen des Kirchturms war die Initialzündung für das Jugendpastorale Zentrum, weil es den Weg frei machte zur Renovierung der Kirche und der Realisierung eines Zentrums der Jugend und jungen Erwachsenen in Köln.

Das CRUX Café lädt (als ‚Place to be‘) zum Verweilen und Quatschen ein; egal ob über Gott, die Welt oder dein Leben. Hier triffst du auf junge Menschen – Schüler und Studenten. Gönn dir deine Zeit, die du brauchst und wie du sie brauchst. Wir sind für dich da.

Church opening hours

Di – So: 9.00 – 18.00 Uhr
