The square used to be called Köttelbrink and was a pasture for cattle. In the 17th century it became a mineral spring with bathing facilities, and later a green area, market and bus parking lot. It was redesigned and a bike and skate park was added in 2013.

The redesign of the Kesselbrink is the largest measure of the integrated urban development concept for Bielefeld Urban Renewal (ISEK) commissioned by the city council and was carried out as part of the Urban Renewal West funding program. After a feasibility study was initially carried out in 2010, the renovation began in autumn 2011 and was completed in June 2013. The renovation was financed with funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), among others. The redesign transformed the Kesselbrink from a car park and bus station into an inner-city meeting place with a skate park and water feature.

Hiking

Since the edge of the square was besieged by dozens of shady characters in broad daylight, I didn't dare to explore the design of the square more closely. It was anything but a highlight.
