In the north of Cologne, more precisely in the Chorweiler district, stands an old, dilapidated house that probably sends chills down the spine of more than a few observers: Haus Fühlingen, also known as Villa Oppenheim. Built as a magnificent retreat, the imposing property is now known nationwide for one thing: spooky ghost stories.
However, long before Eduard Freiherr von Oppenheim, according to the website " köln.de ," purchased a large area in the so-called Fühlinger Heide in 1884 to build a country estate, the place became the scene of horror—almost 600 years earlier, to be exact. Back then, in 1288, two rival rulers set their troops against each other; 1,100 soldiers lost their lives, and quite a few of the fallen were trampled beyond recognition by the knights' panicked horses.
