    At Ebertplatz there is an original fountain from the late 70s that was switched off for at least 20 years, "Water Kinetic Sculpture" by the Cologne artist Wolfgang Gödderz. When the pumps were switched off in the winter, the well pump etc. was damaged and no one has taken care of it since then. It has recently been working again and makes the somewhat run-down Ebertplatz much more attractive.

    Since the fountain is running again and the city has provided wooden seating, it can actually be pleasant here when the weather is good. The whole families with their children playing at the fountain, as well as young people who meet here to talk or read books, give the square something that it has been missing for decades. We can only hope that the city of Cologne sticks with it and makes the walk across Ebertplatz pleasant even in colder times. Who still occasionally approach a young man and say 'What's going on?' or 'Are you okay?' address from the side , presumably to sell stuff, but they don't let you forget where you are.

    Actually a nice place, a little breather, wonderful with this beautiful view. But, no... this little sight is very deceptive. This place is a drug hub for 100% Black African migrants. Open your eyes in 10 minutes and you will know how and who is organizing. Police are present but do nothing. No wonder, you can only tell these dealers apart by their backpacks and the little runners are minors. You can only enjoy the place for a moment, then you get the feeling of: "Get out of here real quick" Thank you very much Ms. Merkel & Co!!!

    (Translated by Google) No more state of the art. Many colored figures, probably dealers, near children playing at the fountain. (Original) Nicht mehr State of the art. Viele farbige Gestalten, wahrscheinlich Dealer, in der Nähe von spielenden Kindern am Brunnen.

    Ebertplatz is getting better and better. Since citizens have been allowing more and more events to take place there, drug addicts have been feeling more and more uncomfortable. Which doesn't mean they're gone. On the other hand, they are peaceful and leave you alone.

  • 5/5 Maike K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's so easy: turn on the water and a previously scary concrete hell is suddenly full of life and no longer scary. A blessing for Ebertplatz and the neighboring districts. (Original) So einfach: Stellt das Wasser an und eine zuvor gruselige Betonhölle ist plötzlich voller Leben und gar nicht mehr unheimlich. Ein Segen für den Ebertplatz und die angrenzenden Viertel.

    (Translated by Google) Since the fountain by the sculptor Göddertz is back in operation, the Ebertplatz has developed very positively. In the form of huge water bells, around 1 million liters of water are circulated every hour, which leads to impressive water noises and drowns out the traffic noise. Young and old have a lot of fun here! Successful civic engagement! (Original) Seitdem der Brunnen des Bildhauers Göddertz wieder in Betrieb ist, hat der Ebertplatz sich sehr positiv entwickelt. In Form von riesigen Wasserglocken werden hier stündlich ca 1 Mio Liter Wasser umgewälzt, was zu beeindruckenden Wassergeräuschen führt und den Verkehrslärm übertönt. Jung und alt haben hier einen riesen Spaß! Gelungenes Bürgerengagement!

  • 5/5 Sandra W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After all! Positive development at Ebertplatz. If Cologne were now less of an Autostadt, then this place would benefit particularly. The event with a lane for cyclists on Riehler Strasse showed what it could look like. (Original) Immerhin! Positive Entwicklung am Ebertplatz. Wenn Köln nun weniger Autostadt wäre, dann würde dieser Platz besonders profitieren. Die Veranstaltung mit einer Spur auf der Riehler Straße für Radfahrer hat doch gezeigt, wie es aussehen könnte.

    (Translated by Google) Nice to spend the summer in the middle of the city, children can play in the well and bathe (Original) Nett um im Sommer zu verweilen mitten in der Stadt, Kinder können im Brunnen spielen und baden

  • 2/5 Walking L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you forget the trappings, it is certainly a beautiful facility. In summer you could hear the water splashing in the middle of the city center and relax a little from the noise of the street. Could. If it weren't for the trappings. Unfortunately, Ebertplatz is just a catastrophe. (Original) Wenn man sich das Drumherum wegdenkt, sicherlich eine schöne Anlage. Man könnte da im Sommer inmitten der Innenstadt das Wasser plätschern hören und etwas ab vom Straßenlärm etwas entspannen. Könnte. Wenn da nicht das Drumherum wäre. Da ist der Ebertplatz leider nur eine Katastrophe.

  • 4/5 Alia E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very nice place on hot days, little refreshment for young and old. Unfortunately, I do not go there so often because very strange characters are walking around there. Betrunke etc. people, is too dangerous with my children. (Original) Ein sehr schöner Ort an heißen Tagen, kleine Erfrischung für groß und klein. Leider geh ich nicht so oft dahin, da sehr merkwürdige Gestalten da rumlaufen. Betrunke usw. Mensche, ist mir zu gefährlich mit meinen Kindern.

  • 3/5 Das G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Personally, the water was not well tempered enough. I would have liked more trace elements and a board with the analysis values. Apparently it was not lactose free, so I had to burst open three days. The city should set up vegan syrup stations, because the water gets boring quickly. Hardly enough space to wash the SUV. But nice African traders who sell bath products and gardening gardens. (Original) Mir persönlich war das Wasser nicht wohltemperiert genug. Ich hätte mir auch mehr Spurenelemente und eine Tafel mit den Analysewerten gewünscht. Offenbar war es nämlich nicht laktosefrei, deswegen musste ich noch drei Tage aufstossen. Die Stadt sollte vegane Sirupstationen aufstellen, denn so wird das Wasser schnell langweilig. Kaum Platz, um mal eben den SUV zu waschen. Dafür nette afrikanische Händler, die Badezusätze verkaufen und die Grünanlagen begärtnern.

  • 4/5 Hans-Dieter N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Meanwhile, a place that also invites you to linger. At least you make an effort that it is so. A small Gastropavilion with tables and chairs, small seats with chessboard surfaces and the reactivated wells solve the problem drug dealers unfortunately not complete. But you can look for a little rest at least during the day. In winter there is an ice rink. (Original) Mittlerweile ein Ort der auch zum Verweilen einlädt. Zumindest gibt man sich Mühe das es so ist. Ein kleiner Gastropavilion mit Tischen und Stühlen, kleine Sitzflächen mit Schachbrettflächen und der reaktivierte Brunnen lösen das Problem Drogendealer leider nicht komplett. Aber man kann zumindest am Tag ein wenig die Erholung suchen. Im Winter gibt es eine Eisbahn.
