Foothill square
The Vorgebirgsplatz in Cologne district ruler is under monument protection standing former park and playground today.
The small park was laid out in 1911 at 1912 as a decorative complex with a fountain. The design comes from the garden architect Fritz Encke , who as the royal gardening director and Cologne's city gardening director also designed numerous other parks and squares in Cologne. It originally had a size of 0.23 hectares .
The park was landscaped making with trees and plants. The fountain was later removed and a wooden ship was set up in the middle of the green area as a play device, thus transforming the square into a playground . A boule court was built there in 2009. An old stock of trees still surrounds the square. There are four stumbling blocks in front of the surrounding houses .
