Planorama Landschaftsarchitektur, Hanns Joosten · Rheinboulevard Cologne

Hanns Joosten

Across the River Rhine from Cologne’s cathedral and picturesque Old Town, a new arena for urban life has emerged in the district of Deutz. The Rheinboulevard is a strip of light concrete occupying the previously inaccessible bank between the Hohenzollern und Deutz bridges. Extending half a river kilometre along the waterway, its proportions suit the 400-metre-wide River Rhine perfectly. In a very short space of time, the boulevard has made it into the list of the top ten attractions in Cologne.
