Altstadt-Süd, Historic district in Cologne, Germany
The southern section of Cologne's old town features narrow cobblestone streets, traditional breweries, and medieval buildings along the Rhine River banks.
Much of the district required reconstruction after World War II, with select original structures preserved to maintain the architectural heritage of medieval Cologne.
The district contains numerous breweries serving Kölsch beer, traditional restaurants, and historic venues that showcase regional German gastronomy and celebrations.
Visitors can reach Altstadt-Süd through multiple transportation options, including trams and buses, with the main railway station located at the district edge.
The district encompasses archaeological sites revealing Roman foundations, Jewish medieval heritage, and preserved sections of the historical street layout.
