    Interesting city gate with nice squares, cafes and beer gardens around it.

    The remaining historic city gates, here the "Eigelsteintor", which are now located in the middle of the city, are impressive witnesses to the extensive city wall that once protected Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium.
    After their demolition, it is mainly thanks to the then mayor Konrad Adenauer that the areas were not redeveloped, but the "green belt" was able to emerge.
