442 of 2773 venues analyzed in Cologne have had Google reviews deleted — about 22050 reviews removed, with an average rating drop of 0.31★.
A deleted Google review is a review Google removed from a venue's profile after a complaint — in Germany, usually one citing defamation or personality-rights law. Google discloses the removal on the venue's page but never the reviews themselves. This page collects those disclosures for Cologne, so you can see what each rating looked like before the removals.
