Begin your walk at the old main entrance on Aachener Straße, where you’ll step into over 200 years of history. As you wander the peaceful paths, stop at the graves of important people in Cologne's history. A lot of them cared even about Carnival, Cologne's 5th season.

How did he and other prominent Cologne figures establish Carnival among high society?
