KÖLNER DOM KÖLN
50 BC. The city, which was founded by the Roman Emperor Claudius in the 19th century, by the Rhine river, became a Neonazi city in the following years.. Industrial development in the city increased considerably thanks to the Nazis. During the Nazis, thousands of Germans were killed in Cologne.. Then II. Towards the end of World War II, the city was severely bombed by the American and British air forces.. After the bombing, the population of the city decreased and 90% of the city was destroyed.. Unfortunately, the distorted construction of the city, which was rebuilt after the war, is obvious. For some reason, the Kolner Dom (cathedral) and some structures around it remained standing in the city, including the Hohenzollern Bridge.. They probably didn’t want to damage this imposing structure.. Although the history of the city dates back to the Roman Empire, it is almost impossible to come across artifacts from the Roman period in the city.
Now let’s come to Germany’s 4th. to list the places to visit in the big city.
FEEL THE LOVE :Hohenzollern Bridge
The Bridge 1907-1911 It was made between the years of II.. Despite the bombardments in World War II, it still stands unharmed.. When the bridge was first built, it was open to rail and highway use, but in the following years, the highway was closed and turned into a pedestrian road.. The 409-meter-long bridge has the Cologne Messe at one end and the Hauptbahnhof at the other.. The most important feature of the bridge is the locks hanging on the iron.. Couples who want to immortalize their love write their names on the lock and throw the key into the Rhine.. Although, according to what I have seen, love has been exceeded in immortalizing and wishing for a child has been passed
When the locks gained serious weight on the bridge over time, an attempt was made to remove the locks, but thanks to the great reaction of the public, the custom of putting locks still continues. Since it is very difficult to find a lock near the bridge, it is useful to bring it with you when you come. When you cross the bridge, you can go to the terrace of the Triangle Tower, located at the end of the bridge, and photograph the unique view of the cathedral and the bridge with a 360-degree angle.
FAMILY : Cologne Cathedral (KOLNER DOM)
Although the cathedral with its gothic architecture, built for the Catholic sect of Christianity, has a depressing appearance, its magnificence is enough to fascinate those who see it. The construction of the Kölner Dom Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and was only completed in 1880.. Germany’s 2nd. it is the big church. The handicrafts on the exterior of the cathedral and the gargoyles designed to drain the water accumulated in the gutters are worth seeing, as well as the stained glass and cloisters inside.. Almost all of the stained glass. The life of Jesus is depicted. It is necessary to climb 533 stairs patiently and tiredly to reach the 157-meter-high structure. We paid 3 euros for the entrance and we climbed hundreds of spiraling stairs on the narrow stairs of the cathedral.
Since the top of the cathedral is covered with wire, those who are thinking of taking landscape pictures should not torture themselves by climbing up all the stairs for nothing! You should also see the Cross flower and Roman stone in front of the cathedral while you’re gone.
