Facts and practical information

Lortzingplatz was laid out between 1906 and 1908 by the royal garden architect Fritz Encke in the Lindenthal district of Cologne. According to Encke's plans, the 2300-square-meter garden square was intended to serve as a multifunctional recreational space in the residential district on Theresienstrasse, which had been developed by the beginning of the 20th century. The square was named after the composer Albert Lortzing, who married Rosina Regina Ahles in Cologne on January 30, 1824.
