The city of Cologne was surrounded by a double ring of fortifications under Prussian administration (from 1815). These fortifications had to be dismantled after 1919 due to the Treaty of Versailles. Together with the Roman city wall, the medieval city wall, and the inner and outer Prussian fortifications, remnants of four different fortification systems can be found in Cologne.
