| Cologne Overview |
| This prosperous and thoroughly modern city had its beginnings in AD 48 at a time when Germany was still a wild unexplored wilderness. The ubiquitous Roman Empire colonised it and considered it a ‘city of dreams’. Today it is Germany’s commercial, communications, and technical hub, as well as a cultural centre with world class theatre and excellent museums. |
| Cologne Essentials |
Dom – The greatest cathedral in Germany, over 600 years in the building, and the largest in the world, miraculously survived 14 direct hits during WWII.
Rathaus – Cologne’s city hall was bombed in WWII and is a reconstructed conglomeration of Gothic tower, Baroque flying cherubs and ornate 1570 Renaissance arcade.
House #4711 – This address must be sacrosanct in the hearts of grannies worldwide, the home of the original Eau de Cologne,”47ll”.
Romisches Praetorium und Kanal – The excavated ruins of the original Roman Military Headquarters reveal Roman gods and other evidence of their occupation.
Mikwe Judenbad - The glass pyramid beside the Rathaus covers a 12th century Jewish ritual bath leading 15 metres down to the water. |
| Cologne Calendar - Pick of the Year's Events |
Karnaval – (February/March) A riotous week of processions and celebration before Ash Wednesday.
Tag der Arbeit – (May 1) Labour day. |
