Westhovener Aue, Recreation area and retention park in Westhoven district, Cologne, Germany.
The Westhovener Aue extends over 0.7 square kilometers along the Rhine River, featuring ponds, grasslands, and walking paths for outdoor activities.
Between 1876 and 1881, the area contained part of Cologne's fortress ring with the IXa Intermediate Works, representing the southernmost right-bank Prussian military installation.
The park transformation from military grounds to public space reflects the evolution of Cologne's urban development, integrating nature preservation with community needs.
Visitors can access the park through nearby bus and train stations, with designated pathways ensuring safety due to historical military presence in the area.
The park's pond houses two white koi fish among native species like common carp, zander, and bream, creating an unexpected aquatic ecosystem.
