    The rose gardens are really well maintained. Lovely spaces and the ruins of the fort make it an interesting visit.

    (Translated by Google) The rose garden is really wonderful, beautiful and worth seeing ... When you come into the garden there is a wonderful fragrance in the air and just smells of a lot of roses. A small flower paradise in the middle of Cologne where you can let your mind wander ... Take a book with you and enjoy the atmosphere .... And the sight of the different roses in all the walls ... (Original) Der Rosengarten ist wirklich wunder wunderschön und sehenswert... Wenn man in den Garten hinein kommt ist ein wunderbarer Duft in der Luft und riecht einfach nur nach ganz vielen Rosen. Ein kleines Blumenparadies mitten in Köln wo man die Seele baumeln lassen kann... Nehmt euch ein Buch mit und genießt die Atmosphäre.... Und dem Anblick der unterschiedlichen Rosen in allen Gemäuer...

    Beautiful gate. you can pass through it fee. It was through this gate that the German Kings arrived in this city after their coronation in Aachen. They paid a visit to the Cologne Cathedral and prayed at the Three Magi shrine

    (Translated by Google) One of the 3 of 12 former preserved city gates of Cologne. Nice, I think that they have demolished the horrible way to the neighboring building. Unfortunately, the gate itself is now only moderately decorated with the Christmas market. You could do a lot more out of this gate. It's a pity except for a picture you can not do much here. (Original) Eines der 3 von ehemals 12 Erhaltenen Stadttore Kölns. Schön finde ich das sie den grässlichen Überweg zum Nachbargebäude abgerissen haben. Leider ist das Tor selbst jetzt mit dem Weihnachtsmarkt nur mäßig geschmückt. Aus diesem Tor könnte man sehr viel mehr machen. Schade schade außer ein Bild kann man hier nicht viel machen.

    A very interesting wall. Historical and archaeological monument. Part of the medieval fortifications in the city of Cologne. Near it there is a city square and there are sports grounds for children and teenagers, and there are benches for relaxation. Looks very good in greenery. A medieval oasis in the center of a big city, several layers of history: buildings of the 19th century, which managed to survive, glass buildings of the 20th century, which will also soon become historical and something else will soon come to replace it 😀 I love the city of Cologne for its diversity and tolerance

    Cute hidden playgrounds for small kids

  • 5/5 Victoria 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely place, the fort has been adapted to a big Rose garden on the top which is very nice and quiet. Well maintained. On the bottom you can find many children activities.

  • 4/5 Ricardo M. 7 years ago on Google
    This fort was part of the second line of the city defences, built when gunpowder was in use. It is now probably the better preserved fort in the city, "lost" in the middle of the ring, with an amazing rose garden. If it had some kind of permanent public service, like a thematic bar/restaurant, it would be even better.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 6 years ago on Google
    Things like this just seem so "ho, hum" in Germany. There's so much history! This is a fort built in the mid 1800's. There's a rose garden ON TOP!! And there are a few great kid parks right around it. It's almost totally hidden from view on the street. If you find Lent Park, it's right next door. You can't miss it. Highly recommended!!

  • 5/5 Mercy G. 6 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) That there is something like that in the middle of Cologne ... A well-preserved remnant of the old Prussian fortress ring has become a great rose garden. Idyllic in the big city, it invites you to linger. Bring some time and enjoy the scent and the beautifully landscaped small park. (Original) Dass es so etwas mitten in Köln gibt...

    Yep.... Seen this place a hundred times. It's a old gate tower thing that's half rebuilt. It's nothing special but is centrally located. If you happen to be here anyways check it out, but it's definitely not worth a trip to it.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it is more or less a monument. Abroad, this monument would have been made lively. I think there is a lack of a nice restaurant inside and at least one cafe outside in summer, so it gets a bit more colorful. (Original) Leider ist es mehr oder weniger ein Monument. Im Ausland hätte man dieses Denkmal zu etwas lebhaften gemacht.

    It might be a historic location but that about is it. There is no concept for this place except now when it hosts a very uninspired Christmas Market. There are worse places, but also many better.

    It's a gate in the middle of Köln which they rebuild and put some modern on the other side. It looks great and is another piece off history from this nice city...

    (Translated by Google) An old piece of history in a place that unfortunately is misused again, with a building that unfortunately does not communicate with the gate. (Original) Ein altes Stück Geschichte an einem Platz, der leider wiedermal verschandelt wird, mit einem Gebäude, dass leider garnicht mit dem Tor kommuniziert.

  • 1/5 Walter Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Muss mich sehr wundern, dass die Mauer noch steht. Ich war im November 1989 an der Mauer und habe sie mit eigenen Händen eingerissen. Merkwürdig, dass offensichtlich ein paar Ewiggestrige sie wieder aufgebaut haben.
