Part of the Cologne fortification ring, which was ground in 1919 due to the Versailles Treaty.
In the very beautiful Friedenspark, which itself is not quite suitable for racing bikes.
However, the fort looks impressive from the street.
Youth facilities are integrated, and an adventure playground is nearby.

The Cologne Peace Park extends around the former Fort I in Neustadt-Süd directly on the Aggripinaufer.
Overgrown ruins, winding paths and the proximity to the Rhine create a magical atmosphere between the old fortress walls.

On March 19, 1914, the city decided to create a park around Fort I based on a plan by Fritz Encke. [1] It was the first park in Cologne on a fortress wall, the so-called "Rheinschanze". The park initially remained nameless when it was created in 1914 by Enke on the site of the old Fort I. Encke integrated the old fortress walls and ditches into his park concept, which means that the park's appearance today is characterized by overgrown masonry.
