The Landskrone is a pond of the Hofgarten in Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte. It is one of the bodies of water that originally lay behind the protective waters of Düsseldorf's fortifications. The Landskron, which lay south-east in front of the then Ratinger Tor, gave it its name. The body of water flows through and is fed with water from the northern Düssel. The old core city should be largely surrounded by connected parks with the embedded waters "Landskrone", Stadtgraben, Kaiserteich, Schwanenspiegel and Spee'scher Graben.

And the cherry blossoms look very pretty in spring!

The first fortifications, consisting of a circular wall, double moat, and palisade fence, were built in 1260. With the invention of gunpowder in the 14th and 15th centuries, forward bastions had to be built.
