Was verbindet ihr mit Köln?

After taking several city trips to Cologne, I connect with Cologne the extremely large number of important Romanesque churches https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6rderverein_Romanische_Kirchen_K%C3%B6ln That I needed several weeks for several trips to see them all, I didn’t expect that.

I also connect with Cologne that the city is one of the few cities in Germany, which also has a lot to offer from the Roman Antiquity. https://www.meierweb.eu/das-roemische-koeln-ccaa/ https://www.kulturreise-ideen.de/geschichte/roemische-geschichte/Tour-roemer-in-koeln.html

I connect with Cologne the family tradition of my mother’s ancestors. These were small craftsmen and these wandered as Gesellen to the Rhine. My grandfather was the last one who had done this tradition. As a young married man, he always fainted. The grandparents did not have much money for pleasure trips and it came that grandmother took a trip to the Rhine and to the Cathedral in Cologne with my mother only after the death of her husband. That was in the 80s, she was already at the middle of 80.
