The remaining historic city gates, here the “Severin Gate”, which are now located in the middle of the city, are impressive witnesses to the extensive city wall that once protectively surrounded Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. After their demolition, it is thanks above all to the then mayor Konrad Adenauer that the areas were not redeveloped and that the "green belt" was able to be created.

If you come by here you also have to walk through Severinstor and breathe history in the process.

The neo-Gothic building at Severinstor was built when the medieval city wall was dismantled in 1879. Bitter schnapps were distilled here from the beginning, and today Früh is also served as Kölsch.
The building's nickname is "Invalidendom". It goes back to the fact that many veterans met here to consume alcohol.
