The Aachener Weiher is an artificial lake in Cologne's inner green belt. It was created in the early 1920s according to the master plan of urban planner Fritz Schumacher, commissioned by the then mayor Konrad Adenauer, and carried out by the garden director Fritz Encke on the edge of the inner fortress ring. Its surface area is almost 40,000 m².
