Dellbrück

Dellbrück is a district in northeastern Cologne comprising several neighborhoods including Thurn, Strunden, and Alt-Dellbrück with a mix of residential buildings and green spaces. The area blends built-up sections with open spaces that give the district its characteristic appearance.

The district has deep historical roots with evidence of human settlements reaching back around eight thousand years. Archaeological finds point to early iron processing and burial sites from prehistoric times.

The Märchensiedlung is a housing development from the 1920s with streets named after fairy tales, creating a distinctive character within the district. Walking through these streets today, visitors can observe how this early planning approach still shapes the neighborhood's identity.

The KVB-Endhaltestelle Thielenbruch transit hub connects the district to central Cologne and serves as a major transport junction. From here, visitors can easily reach other neighborhoods and explore the area using public connections.

The Strunderbach stream, developed by the Franks, historically powered over fifty mills scattered along its course through the district. This historic role of waterpower remains visible in the landscape today.
