A really wonderful book.
Dr. Klaus Hardering, Cologne Cathedral
- A Cologne guidebook to over 80 fascinating and unusual historical sights in Germany’s most historic city. Roman ruins and religious relics, forgotten fortresses and abandoned cemeteries, industrial remains and historic hotels.
- Colonia Agrippinensis, Sancta Colonia, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Third Reich.
- Napoleon’s cemetery, a road beneath the Rhine, the city lighthouse, and where the Red Baron learned to fly.
- The bones of Saint Ursula, the inventor Konrad Adenauer, bad boy Martin Kippenberger, and the legend of Bishop Maternus.
- The ideal Cologne guidebook for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city.
