Hiroshima-Nagasaki-Park

The park extends between Aachener Street, University Street, and Bachemer Street, featuring green spaces adjacent to the Aachener Pond and Museum of East Asian Art.

The area served as the Maifeld during the Nazi era for mass gatherings, later becoming a debris disposal site known as Mont Klamott after World War II.

The park contains the Nuclear Weapons Abolition Memorial, featuring an origami crane sculpture by Hannes Helmke, symbolizing peace and nuclear disarmament worldwide.

The park welcomes visitors for sports activities, picnics, and relaxation, with access through tram lines 1 and 7 connecting to central Cologne.

The inauguration in 2004 included Nagasaki bombing survivor Kazuo Soda and Japanese Consul Toshihiko Mochizuki, marking its dedication to nuclear awareness.
