Fritz-Encke-Volkspark, Public park and architectural monument in Raderthal, Germany.
Fritz-Encke-Volkspark extends between Brühler Straße and Bonner Straße, connecting the Inner and Outer Green Belt of Köln through landscaped pathways and gardens.
The park emerged in 1924 on a former munitions depot site, transforming military grounds into a public space under the direction of garden architect Fritz Encke.
The circular temple with its modern fountain, created by artist Serban Rusu in 2006, represents the integration of contemporary art into historical garden design.
Visitors can access the park via Bus Line 132 at Leyboldstraße stop or Bus Line 133 at Liblarer Straße stop, with designated areas for sports and recreation.
The park maintains its 1920s character through preserved perennial gardens and seating niches, despite substantial changes to its size during the 1950s construction period.
