8 StopsEstimated Duration: 96 minutes
The 'Gründerzeit in Köln — Spaziergang II' trail takes you on a 4.62 km open route from Mariensäule to Deutzer Drehbrücke. In around 96 minutes, you'll immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Cologne. Start at the majestic Mariensäule, designed in a neo-Gothic style by Vincenz Statz, standing proudly in the Gereonsdriesch park. Next, visit the Adolph Kolping monument in front of the impressive Minoritenkirche, dedicated to the socially committed priest Adolph Kolping. A must-see is the Heinzelmännchenbrunnen, with its artistic figures narrating the tales of industrious house spirits. This route beautifully connects historical monuments and artistic fountains, concluding with a view of the Deutzer Drehbrücke.
