Hansaplatz, Heritage park and monument in Altstadt-Nord, Germany.
The rectangular Hansaplatz spans 1.7 hectares in northeast Cologne, bordered by Hansaring street and featuring remnants of the medieval city wall.
The area contained two significant museums until World War II: the Museum of Applied Arts opened in 1900 and the Schnütgen Museum completed in 1910.
A bronze sculpture titled 'Woman with Dead Child' by Dutch artist Marie Andriessen stands within the green space, accompanied by a memorial plaque.
The grounds include an underground sports facility accessed through a semicircular forecourt, with the eastern section connecting to Klingelpütz Park.
A section of the original city wall from 1180 remains intact along two-thirds of the plaza length, starting at Gereonsmühle tower and ending at a residence added in 1952.
