There is not only asphalt in the metropolises of western Germany. In reality, blooming heathers and exotic trees are usually not far away in these green cities in North Rhine-Westphalia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cologne <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have to break a lance for Cologne<\/a>. Because even if our home town is often a horror show in an architectural sense, it still has numerous green spaces. Konrad Adenauer, not only the first Chancellor, but also the former Lord Mayor of Cologne, had repeatedly appealed to residents to think of their children as well as grandchildren in the hopes of giving them access to “untouched nature” within the city. Otherwise, Cologne<\/a> would have degenerated into a “stone desert”, an “endless sea of \u200b\u200bhouses, without light and without greenery”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
