Zollstock

Zollstock is a residential neighborhood in the Rodenkirchen district, made up of a mix of modern apartment buildings and older single-family homes. Tree-lined streets give the area a green and quiet character.

The area developed from rural land in the 1870s and took its name from a tollhouse at a historic road crossing. It gradually transformed into an urban residential neighborhood with increasing construction.

The neighborhood has become a residential area where people from different backgrounds and regions live side by side. This diversity shapes daily life and how neighbors interact with one another.

The neighborhood is well served by buses and trams running regularly to central Cologne. Pedestrians will find flat paths and green areas that are easy to walk through.

The Südfriedhof, a large cemetery from the early 1900s, is located in this neighborhood and displays different building styles from that era. Visitors can find historic graves and quiet paths there.
