Good to know
- The Fritz-Encke-Volkspark in Köln-Raderthal was laid out in 1922-1926 by the then Cologne Gartenbaudirektor Fritz Encke, who added a Naturtheater, a Reigenplatz (dance green) and a reading garden as usable park spaces. The park was placed under monument protection in 1980, and the former Volkspark Raderthal was renamed Fritz-Encke-Volkspark in 2002. (Source: de.wikipedia.org)
- Since 2001 the Rheinischer Verein für Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz, a citizens' initiative and the city's Amt für Landschaftspflege und Grünflächen have been partially restoring the park. The restored Brunnentempel was rededicated on 10 September 2006 with a new fountain by the artist Şerban Rusu on a stainless-steel base with a bronze bowl, and funding granted in late 2024 is to pay for restoring the eight historic seating niches in the Staudengärten.
