Your way to Stadtgarten
Updated Directions through June 2027
There is a temporary change regarding access to and from the Stadtgarten by car: Through June 2027 (as currently planned), Venloer Straße—from Hans-Böckler-Platz to the entrance to the Stadtgarten (i.e., under the railroad bridge)—will be a one-way street heading into the city. As a result, this means you can still drive there from all directions. There is only a minor detour when driving back out of town. Bicycles can continue to use the road in both directions.
This is due to construction work to modernize the Hans-Böckler-Platz/Bahnhof West light rail stop.
Public Transport
The STADTGARTEN can best be reached by public transportation. Either use trains 3,4,5,12, or 15 and get off the subway on station Friesenplatz or use trains 3,4,5 to Hans Böckler-Platz. It is also possible to take the Deutsche Bahn regional trains to Westbahnhof.
For all those who have a KVB season ticket, JobTicket/Großkunden or Deutschlandticket, it is also possible to use one of the numerous KVB bicycles free of charge. More information can be found at: https://www.kvb.koeln/mobilitaet/kvbrad_frei.html

Follow Venloer Straße. The Stadtgarten is on the left right behind the railroad bridge.If you come from the North, take the Innere Kanalstraße and turn to your right into the Subbelratherstraße. Take the first U-turn and go back crossing the Innere Kanalstraße. Just behind the railroad bridge a little road goes up a hill to your right . Follow the road for about 100 meters and then then take a right into Spichern Straße. Follow the road until Venloer Straße. The STADTGARTEN is on your right.
