Siedlung Volkspark

The estate comprises 147 single-family houses—freestanding villas as well as terraced and linked houses—mostly two-storey, rendered, and topped with pitched roofs. Officers resided at the centre, non-commissioned officers on the periphery. Despite the overall uniformity, the individual house types retain their own character, notably those designed by Schaller with their distinctly "light" architectural style. The eastern edge is marked by four three-storey terrace blocks with 12 flats each, a seven-storey tower block with 73 flats, and the "All Saints" church. Designed by Wilhelm Riphahn, the tower block avoids rigidity thanks to its west-facing open façade and won the Cologne Architecture Prize in 1967.

The estate is bounded to the south by Militärringstraße, to the west by Brühler Straße, and to the north by Urfelder Straße, with the rest of Raderthal and green spaces adjoining to the east. Bonner Straße and Brühler Straße connect it to the city centre. Winding streets and footpaths run through the area, while broad front gardens with hedges shield the houses from the road. The former WERAG (later WDR) transmission building, built as early as 1927, was incorporated into the estate. The western part of the Volkspark, laid out in the 1920s, was built over with single-family houses, once interspersed with a NAAFI shop that has since disappeared; further housing units and the church adjoin to the east. The remaining park was restored from 2001 and renamed Fritz-Encke-Volkspark in 2002, honouring the creator of many of Cologne's green and sports spaces.
