"The Stammheim Palace Park in the north of Cologne is always worth a visit. The landscape garden is one of the oldest and most important in the city. The twelve-hectare site on the right bank of the Rhine is located directly on the Rhine opposite the Niehl district. On the bank side, the park is mostly framed by old brickwork.

Visitors notice the modern sculptures between the trees. Some of the old giant trees are 200 years old, and there are also rare trees. Obtaining these around 1830 was not always easy. At that time, Count Franz Egon von Fürstenberg-Stammheim had the triangular park laid out by the famous garden director Maximilian Friedrich Weye.

Trees and plants were brought in by ships and horse-drawn carriages from Düsseldorf and Bonn, for example.

Only after the sale to the city of Cologne in 1928 were citizens allowed to enter the park and the palace. During the Second World War, everything fell into disrepair and the palace was destroyed in a bombing raid. After the war, Leverkusen-based Bayer AG bought the area and built the now empty, listed "Ulrich Haberland House", which was once a retirement and student residence. Since 1983, the area has belonged to the city again.

In the impressive Stammheim Castle Park, lovers of garden art get their money's worth, as do day-trippers looking for a beautiful spot or peace and quiet. Those interested in art can look forward to the annually changing sculpture exhibitions."
