Friedenspark, Public park in Neustadt-Süd, Cologne, Germany
The 4.5-hectare Friedenspark incorporates ancient fortress walls, meandering paths, and dense vegetation surrounding the remnants of Fort I near the Rhine River.
Fritz Encke transformed the military Fort I into a public green space in 1914, integrating the existing fortification structures and moats into the park design.
A 15-meter monument with a bronze eagle, created by Georg Grasegger in 1927, stands in the park to commemorate soldiers who died in World War I.
The park features designated areas for grilling, sports activities, a youth center, and multiple entrances from Agrippinaufer, Oberländer Wall, and Alteburger Straße.
In 2012, the park received a memorial using basalt stones embedded in the ground to honor John Lennon's peace anthem 'Imagine'.
