Päff is a pub on Friesenwall in Cologne’s Gereonsviertel district. It was established in 1968 as a jazz club by Günter Päffgen (1940–2021, from the local family of brewers) together with his wife Gisela.

The round dimensional letters are patterned after Blippo Black (1969). It’s unclear when the sign was installed.

Documented by Monsieur Adrien in October 2023.
