Dhünn Riverside Bike Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A well-developed and shady cycle path, especially in summer, takes you through beautiful greenery. Every now and then you catch a glimpse of the Dhünn, which is a tributary of the Wupper and babbles along the way. Perfect for switching off!

The BayArena, known as the “Ulrich Haberland Stadium” before the renovation in the 1990s, is the home of Bayer 04 Leverkusen. It can be easily recognized from the motorway by its distinctive roof structure.

Doktorsburg at Wilhelm-Dopatka City Park

Highlight • Monument

The moated castle was first mentioned around 1171 and was owned by, among others, Abraham Schaaffhausen.

In 1540, Dr. Jakob von Omphal acquired the property and used it as a fortified manor, the "Doktorsburg" (Doctor's Castle). In 1682, Baron von Merode, Commander of the Teutonic Order, rebuilt the manor house, which was acquired by the municipality of Wiesdorf in 1910.

Elephant Fountain (Elefantenbrunnen) on Havensteinstraße, Leverkusen

Highlight • Monument

There's a funny anecdote about this elephant !!
This elephant was built by the Berlin artist August Gaul. Even if it doesn't look like it in the photos, this is an elephant fountain. It is on Havensteinstrasse in Colony III.

And Colony III is across from the Doktorsburg in Wiesdorf.

Sometime after Leverkusen was founded, i.e. after April 1, 1930, a high-ranking politician once stayed in the Doktorsburg and at that time the elephant was still looking into Colony III.

This in turn meant that another part of the elephant was facing the Doktorsburg.

And what is not allowed has to be changed and in this case that meant turning the elephant around.

Since then the elephant has been looking at the Doktorsburg and turning the A .... to Colony III. But the inhabitants of Colony III knew that the elephant didn't mean it that way.
In 2006 the District Representation I decided to restore the elephant to its original position with the help of a sponsor, which was implemented in 2007.
