New partnership with 1. FC Köln: Andreas Weber (Managing Partner of Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste), Florian Dederichs (Head of Marketing at 1. FC Köln), Stephan Rathgeber (Marketing Manager at Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste) and Lara Friese (Partner Manager at 1. FC Köln) present the new partnership.

Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste is expanding its involvement in professional sports: Since 1 July 2026, the company has been the cleaning partner of 1. FC Köln. As part of the partnership, Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste provides comprehensive cleaning services for the traditional football club.

Starting with the 2026/27 Bundesliga season, Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste is responsible for the regular cleaning of the RheinEnergieSTADION, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene at one of Germany’s best-known football venues, which has a capacity of more than 50,000 spectators. The services provided go far beyond standard routine cleaning.

Around the Bundesliga team’s home matches – from preparation and matchday itself through to post-match cleaning – the company is responsible for cleaning and maintaining the changing areas, sanitary facilities and the entire stadium. The services also include waste removal from the stands. This helps ensure smooth operations on every home matchday.

Cleaning of the Geißbockheim and the sports boarding school

In addition to the RheinEnergieSTADION, the partnership includes cleaning the Franz-Kremer-Stadion at the Geißbockheim, including the administrative offices as well as the training and match facilities used by the U21 and youth teams. The scope of services also includes 1. FC Köln’s sports boarding school and the club’s two fan shops in Cologne.

“The partnership with 1. FC Köln fills us with great pride. As a company with strong roots in North Rhine-Westphalia, we are delighted to support a traditional football club both during its home matches and in its day-to-day operations. A stadium of this size places the highest demands on quality, reliability and flexibility – precisely the values that distinguish Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste. Together with 1. FC Köln, we want to help ensure that the team, employees and fans can always feel comfortable in a clean and well-maintained environment,” says Andreas Weber, Managing Partner of Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste.

Rudolf Weber is a “partner committed to quality”

“Quality often becomes apparent where it seems effortless. Rudolf Weber stands for reliability, the highest standards and professional solutions. With this shared commitment to quality, we have a strong partner at our side,” says Florian Dederichs, Head of B2B Marketing at 1. FC Köln.

With this partnership, Rudolf Weber Gebäudedienste is further expanding its presence in the sports sector and demonstrating its expertise in servicing demanding large-scale properties. The collaboration with 1. FC Köln represents trust, reliability and the highest quality standards – values shared by both partners.
