Facts and practical information

Karl-Schwering-Platz is a green space designed in 1925 by horticultural director Fritz Encke in the Cologne borough of Lindenthal. The square is part of the green corridor of the Lindenthaler Canal, which was created as a connection between the Inner Green Belt at the Aachener Weiher and the city forest in the Outer Green Belt on the initiative of the then Mayor of Cologne Konrad Adenauer. The elongated square was named after the former principal of the Apostelgymnasium, Karl Schwering.
