Lindweiler

Lindweiler is a small planned residential district surrounded by major roads and northern green spaces. Compact housing estates, pedestrian paths and a strong local community give it an enclosed, family-oriented character. Administratively, Lindweiler belongs to Cologne’s Chorweiler borough. Housing in Lindweiler is varied: quieter streets, larger building groups and small local facilities combine to produce several recognisable residential settings. In Lindweiler, the arrangement of housing and open space reflects its period of development and gives the area a clear internal order. The available greenery makes the internal contrasts of Lindweiler easier to read and gives many everyday routes a calmer character. Differences between main roads and quieter internal streets are important to the everyday experience of the area.
