Cologne

the Cathedral at Night (der Koelner Dom)
the cathedral with its two spires mounting up to 157 meters each, has been the city's most famous
landmark. It took 632 years until is was completed. Having laid the foundation in 1248 and
making progress initially, work gradually came to a standstill. It was only due to 19th
century romantic enthusiasm for the Middle Ages and the commitment of the Prussian Court
that construction work resumed n 1842. In 1880 it was completed.
