    Hiking

    A special feature is the golden "winged car" on the roof of the Zeughaus Tower, which was mounted there on April 25, 1991, by HA Schult as part of the "Fetish Car" project (artistic title: "Golden Bird"). Former Cologne government president Antwerpes demanded the car's removal, citing monument protection, but the responsible ministry tolerated the object's "temporary" presence (which continues to this day).
