The Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne is the orchestra of the Cologne Opera. The two institutions have enjoyed a successful partnership for many years. The orchestra's long history combines many lines of development in the city's musical life. Its roots go back to the city council music of the 15th century and the cathedral chapel. In 1827, the Cölner Concert-Gesellschaft took over its sponsorship. In 1840, it appointed Conradin Kreutzer as the first permanently paid municipal bandmaster. From 1857, the society concerts took place in a commercial and banqueting hall from the late Gothic period, the so-called Gürzenich.
