Is it possible to unite the cheerful nature of the Rhineland and Cologne’s lifestyle in homes? Yes, it is! You stroll through a nice Rhine village, small alleys, homes full of nooks and crannies. The reddish brown brick conveys a feeling of warmth and security. You return to your childhood days and one of those countless family weekend trips. You see the homes of the Rhineland villages of dreams past. Dormers and oriels. A refreshing drink in a beer garden. The rustling of the leaves on a mighty apple tree overhead.

The Tillmannsviertel is the link between the old and the new Widderdorf. It points the way to prominent Widdersdorfer buildings such as Haus Rath, the Neu-Subbelrather Hof, the Church St. Jakobus and the Old Distillery. This Veedel flirts with country flair. Slate saddle roofs, diverse and originally fired brick, harmonious red plastered homes, boxwood and decorative fences characterise the architectural style. The bench at the entrance is an inviting place to pause for a bit. You’ll recognise this quarter’s special flair no later than upon seeing Angerplatz, the square at the heart of the Tillmannviertel with traditional Anger-style homes and small gates. Enjoy a break on the round bench and watch the neighbourhood residents rendezvous.
