Object Wider Than 30 Centimeters in Dimension
The much-anticipated **DEG Winterwelt**, also known as "Kö on Ice," is set to open its doors from **November 13, 2025, to January 16, 2026**, in the heart of Düsseldorf on Königsallee. This winter wonderland promises a unique blend of ice skating, innovative ice stock shooting, delectable food options, and music events.
### Ice, Ice, But Not Just Any Ice
The event features an ice skating rink catering to all levels, from beginners to professionals. To save energy, the real ice surface has been somewhat reduced compared to previous years. However, the fun doesn't stop there. Ice stock shooting has been moved to Theodor-Körner-Straße, where it takes place on a special plastic surface that glides well and requires no energy.
### Food and Beverage Galore
The Füchschen-Alm, a two-story gastronomic attraction, offers a variety of food and drink options. While specific menus and opening times are yet to be detailed, visitors can expect a new catering concept at the terrace, serving hearty options like sandwiches, goulash in a bread bowl, hot soups, cake for coffee, and mulled wine called 'Glühkirsch'.
### Music Events and More
Though specific schedules or lineups are not provided, music events are mentioned as part of the overall atmosphere. A popular meeting point around the ice rink is the Alm, which can seat up to 500 people, including 108 seats.
### COVID-19 Safety Measures
DEG Winterwelt has implemented several measures to ensure a safe and pleasant visit. These include reducing actual ice usage and opting for synthetic surfaces for ice stock shooting, aligning with sustainability goals and maintaining hygiene. While mask mandates, social distancing, and sanitation protocols were not found in the search results for the 2025/26 season, it's recommended to check closer to the event date for the latest COVID-19 rules.
