Malakoffturm

Tourist attraction

😐 The Malakoffturm was fort that was part of a chain of forts that defended the river. it's not actually possible to visit the tower and you can only look at it from the outside, which is a bit boring after a minute. It's okay. It's a nice bit of history, but I wouldn't go out of the way to visit unle... People often mention beer, garden, tower, Biergarten, Nice, nice, Turm, auch, Rhine, sich,

It's okay. It's a nice bit of history, but I wouldn't go out of the way to visit unless you have a lot of time.

    The Malakoffturm is a gate tower constructed in 1848. It combines an ornate gate tower and a two-storey artillery tower which guarded the entrance to the old Rhine harbour.

    The Malakoffturm is an old gate tower from the 19th century, which is now used as a beer garden with a food truck on the side.

    (Translated by Google) Beer garden as it should be! Nice view of the Rhine and somehow you always come here with nice people to talk. The service is very nice. There is a snack cart next to the tower, the food you can take to the table (as it should be in the beer garden). Here you can relax from the hustle and bustle in the city. ?? (Original) Biergarten wie es sich gehört! Schöner Blick auf den Rhein und irgendwie kommt man hier immer mit netten Leuten ins Gespräch. Auch die Bedienung ist sehr nett. Es gibt einen Imbisswagen gleich neben dem Turm, das Essen kann man sich mit an den Tisch nehmen (so wie es im Biergarten sein sollte). Hier kann man sich vom hektischen Treiben in der Stadt erholen. ??

    (Translated by Google) Anyone who goes on a visit to Cologne's former customs port will come across the Malakoffturm. In the customs port you can learn something about its history. At first it stood on the island of the customs port and was moved to the other side during renovation work. From here you have a great view of the Rhine and the cathedral. Landmark and photo motif. (Original) Wer sich auf einen Besuch zum ehemaligen Zollhafen Kölns aufmacht, wird am Malakoffturm vorbei kommen. Im Zollhafen erfährt man etwas über seine Geschichte. Anfangs stand er auf der Insel des Zollhafens und wurde im Zuge von Umbauarbeiten auf die andere Seite verlegt. Von hier aus hat man einen tollen Blick auf den Rhein und den Dom. Sehenswürdigkeit und Fotomotiv.

    (Translated by Google) Great beer garden on the Rhine, right in Cologne. I don't know any other place in Cologne where there is no Kölsch. The beer and all other drinks taste great and you get your own food from a food truck. Currywurst, meatballs, bratwurst, french fries, etc. You sit on a branch of the Rhine. Opposite is the Chocolate Museum. The staff is very friendly and it is open until 10 or 11 p.m., depending on the number of guests. (Original) Toller Biergarten am Rhein, direkt in Köln. Ich kenne keinen anderen Ort in Köln wo es kein Kölsch gibt. Das Bier und alle anderen Getränke schmecken hervorragend und Essen holt man sich selber an einem Imbisswagen. Currywurst, Frikadellen, Bratwurst, Pommes usw. Man sitzt an einem Seitenarm vom Rhein. Gegenüber ist das Schokoladen-Museum. Personal ist sehr freundlich und es hat abends bis 22 oder 23 Uhr geöffnet, richtet sich nach der Menge der Gäste.

    (Translated by Google) The tower dates from the Prussian era, it was relocated during renovation work and is now used as a beer garden near the Chocolate Museum (Original) Der Turm stammt aus der preußischen Zeit er wurde bei umbaumassnahmen versetzt wird jetzt as biergarten benutzt in der Nähe des Schokoladenmuseum dort wurden auch mal filmaufnahmen gemacht mit einem wurststand der auch schon mal auf der anderen rheinseite stand und auch dort gedreht wurde

    (Translated by Google) Nice that this romantic tower has been preserved with its battlements. He was part of the former Prussian Rhine shore fortification. It was built in the mid-19th century from bricks and has since lost their function. The tower stands directly at the entrance to the Chocolate Museum and is reminiscent of the romantic tower and castle enthusiasm of the 19th century, when the mayor of Freiburg said: villages have roofs, cities have towers! And so turrets were often grown on many houses. (Original) Schön, dass sich dieser romantische Turm mit seinen Zinnen erhalten hat. Er war Teil der ehemaligen preußischen Rhein-Ufer-Befestigung. Sie wurde Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts aus Ziegeln errichtet und hat inzwischen ihre Funktion verloren. Der Turm steht unmittelbar beim Zugang zum Schokoladen-Museum und erinnert an die romantische Turm- und Burgen-Begeisterung des 19. Jahrhunderts, als der Freiburger Bürgermeister sagte: Dörfer haben Dächer, Städte haben Türme! Und so wurden damals gern auch Türmchen an viele Häuser angebaut.
