Old Town Cologne

Old Town of Cologne maintained the flavor of history. Old Town has unique features like houses with narrow gables and high slated roofs. They are situated closely to the huge steeple of the former Benedict’s Collegiate Church. Particularly within Cologne’s Rhine panorama, artists prefer the show side of the river Metropolis for centuries. The city has been named as Old Town for its particular naturalness that represents a fraction of the area, which was set up in the 12th century. Later the city area of Cologne was extended.
In the medieval age the commercial use of bank Rhine was, any way, desolated. During 1558-61, the choir of Grob St. Martins’ was built in front of Stapelhaus.
The buildings of this Flemish trade metropolis were also distinctive. The buildings are elegant and bore the typical characteristics of the Middle Age nobility. This is because of the conscious effort taken by the city council to preserve the historical past intact. A visit to the Antwerpen building, now used for storage purposes, will remind you of the Middle Age building Stapelrecht. Antwerpen was completely destroyed in World War II; however, it was restored in the sixties. Nowhere else in Germany would you find beautiful bronze sculptures created in 1974 by Wolfgang Reuters.

In eighties the city tried to increase its attraction by tunneling of the Frankenwerft. The beautiful Romanesque stepped portal on the north Conchos once formed the access way from the cloisters to the church. Stones bound together by chains remind you of the dimensions of this once imposing arrangement of buildings.
The street names like ‘Christophstraße’ or‘An den Dominikanern’ will remind you about the places where the cathedrals used to stand. The old market is situated in the main part of the Old Town. If you want to do shopping and get huge discounts then go there during Christmas
