Destination guide
Nordrhein-Westfalen
North Rhine-Westphalia’s park history includes a destination that has developed a recognizable identity around themed environments.
The story behind the day out
A permanent themed world at Brühl
Phantasialand opened in April 1967 at Brühl, near Cologne. The operator’s historical facts distinguish the park from its later hospitality and performance offerings. The founding date belongs to the amusement destination itself; the wider experience developed over time. Its story provides a regional example of a permanent park accumulating new settings and attractions rather than retaining the exact form in which it first opened.
