Odonien

In 2005, Rumpf converted a 5000 m2 large vacant plot of land, located in Köln-{{ill|Neuehrenfeld|de}} between railway tracks at the periphery of the nearby {{lang|de|Köln Betriebsbahnhof}} in the fan-out area of {{lang|de|Köln Hauptbahnhof}}, into an open space studio site and atelier area which became known as "{{lang|de|Freistaat Odonien}}" (English: Free State of Odonia). The site is also used by other international artists. Decorated with metal sculptures, {{lang|de|Odonien}} hosts exhibitions, festivals as well as music, cinematic and dance events. The site and beer garden is also available to rent for events by third parties. {{lang|de|Odonien}} is home to the semi-annual robot show "{{lang|de|Robodonien}}", which has been compared with Burning Man. The nightly fleamarket {{lang|fr|Bazar de Nuit}} is also situated there. Since 2020, {{lang|de|Odonien}} also hosts the inclusive RoboLAB festival. In November 2023, the festival was changed to also feature light installations under the name {{lang|de|Odonien leuchtet}}. This is expanded into the arts/lights festival {{lang|de|Robodonien leuchtet}} on two weekends in November 2024.
