How this list is made
Each agency is checked against public company registers, state licence requirements and professional-association member lists, then against its own website. Only agencies confirmed as operating are published. No agency pays to be listed and there are no rankings or reviews. Last verified: 2026-10-10.
01How many modeling agencies are there in Cologne?
This catalogue lists 9 verified agencies in Cologne, including Latfro Models, TUNE Models, EVERYDAY PEOPLE and ANBESSA AGENCY. Only agencies with a current licence or professional-association membership, or confirmed by at least two independent sources, are included.
02Which parts of Cologne are modeling agencies in?
All 9 catalogue agencies give an address. Five are in the Innenstadt district: three in Altstadt-Nord, one in Neustadt-Nord by the Mediapark and one in Altstadt-Süd. The other four are in Weidenpesch (Nippes district), Mülheim on the right bank of the Rhine, Rodenkirchen and Weiden (Lindenthal district).
03What kind of modeling work is there in Cologne?
Mostly commercial: advertising, television and e-commerce. WDR and RTL are based in Cologne, and five of the nine catalogue agencies have a commercial board and five a talent board. The city has no catwalk week: that is held in Berlin, and the order days are in Dusseldorf.
04How much does public transport cost in Cologne?
Under the Rheinlandtarif in force since 1 June 2026, a single KVB ticket in Cologne (level 1b) costs €4.00 and is valid for 90 minutes, a short trip of up to four stops €2.90, a 24-hour ticket €9.60 and a monthly ticket €100. The Deutschlandticket costs €63 a month.
05Do Cologne agencies take applications online?
Eight of the nine catalogue agencies have an application page on their own websites. SHOWCAST states that applying is free. Apply only through the agency's official website, and do not pay for registration, a Sedcard or a compulsory shoot.
06Can a minor work as a model in Cologne?
A child under 15, or a teenager still in compulsory schooling, needs a permit for a photo shoot, a film shoot or a show. In North Rhine-Westphalia it is issued by the district government (Bezirksregierung), and the application must be made at least two weeks ahead. In Cologne, FAVoriteFACES has a kids board.
