Gartenstadt-Nord, Residential condominium complex in Longerich district, Cologne, Germany.

The residential development encompasses Y-shaped point houses, three-story buildings, and single-family homes surrounding Altonaer Platz in northern Cologne.

Construction of Gartenstadt-Nord began in 1957 through GAG Köln, Aachener Gemeinnützige, and Deutsche Wohnungsgesellschaft to house Esso refinery and Ford workers.

Archbishop Josef Cardinal Frings inaugurated the Katholikentagssiedlung section in 1959, which provided housing specifically for Catholic families in Cologne.

The residential units offer varying sizes, with single-family homes averaging 103 square meters, while shops and restaurants occupy two-story buildings around the square.

The original 1936 houses included large vegetable gardens for self-sufficiency, marking an early implementation of sustainable urban living concepts.
