July 19th – We have now traveled back to West Germany to the city on Koln (Cologne). It was originally founded by the Romans and is one of the oldest settlements in Germany. It has 12 Romanesque churches and also the Koln Cathedral, the greatest Gothic cathedral in Germany and the 3rd tallest in Germany.
We arrived in the early evening and we stayed in a hotel in walking distance of the large Koln Cathedral. The first picture of the Koln Cathedral is with the setting sun shining on it. The rest of the pictures were taken the next morning.
(The Cathedral was standing very straight but my camera shot makes it look like it is leaning. Sorry)
The outside detail was magnificent, from the steeples to the entrance.
The inside was also very ornate with lots to see. There were also lots of tall, stain glass windows, that were beautifully done, and told the story of Christ.
As we drove away, you can see how close it stands by the Rhine River.
