"The port was begun in the early 1920s on the initiative of Mayor Konrad Adenauer. As early as 1900, the port administration presented a cost plan for the new port in Niehl, but it wasn't until 1912 that a final decision was made on the planning. Despite initial reservations about the high costs, the benefits in the form of jobs and tax revenues overcame the decision."
(Author: Dr. Ulrich S. Soénius, historian and director of the Rhineland-Westphalian Economic Archives Foundation in Cologne.)

A defining feature of the landscape, but not necessarily a scenic highlight – the Niehl container port. Part of the Cologne green belt and the Cologne path.

I would say that anything that has to do with industry is not really nice.
The port is very easy to reach on foot or by bike.
There are fewer cars here, but a lot of trucks.
