Visit at least some of the Romanesque churches, which date back to the beginning of the 2nd millenium. Like everything else in Koln (Cologne), these churches were leveled during World War II. They have been reconstructed from old floor plans and pictures -- fascinating and quite beautiful. Leave a Comment

 Groß St. Martin by Kathrin_E
The twelve are (address in brackets):
St. Andreas (Komödienstraße)
St. Aposteln (Neumarkt)
St. Caecilien (Cäcilienstraße, now Schnütgen-Museum of medieval religious art)
St. Georg (Georgsplatz)
St. Gereon (Gereonsdriesch)
St. Kunibert (Kunibertsklostergasse)
St. Maria im Kapitol (Marienplatz, erected on the ruins of the ancient Roman capitol)
St. Maria Lyskirchen (An Lyskirchen)
Groß St. Martin (An Groß St. Martin, the one closest to the river bank)
St. Pantaleon (Am Pantaleonsberg)
St. Severin (Im Ferkulum)
St. Ursula (Ursulaplatz)
I have visited them all but that was ages ago, apologies for the lack of photos. My recommendations: St. Gereon, St. Maria im Kapitol, St. Pantaleon.

It took 632 years until construction of the largest German cathedral was completed. After the laying of the foundations in the year 1248 and making rapid progress initially, construction work gradually came to a standstill. It was only with 19th century romantic enthusiasm for the Middle Ages and the commitment of the Prussian Court that construction work resumed in 1842. In 1880, completion of the cathedral was celebrated as a national event.
The relics of the Holy Epiphany found their last resting place in the cathedral. The Sarcophagus of Epiphany (dating from the 13th century) surpasses all comparable golden sarcophagi in Western Christendom, in terms of scale and magnificence. Other outstanding works of art are to be found in the cathedral treasure chamber. Leave a Comment

 The Magnificent Dom by Johnscarroll
Located just steps from the central railway station, it easy to see if you are just passing through but you have a couple extra hours to spare.
Take your time and enjoy the dark, mysterious, and cavernous interior. Just remember that tours are not available during religious services. This is still an active Roman Catholic parish. Be respectful of the history and holiness of this place. It's best, if you take pictures or video, to avoid the use of flash.
The stained glass windows alone are worth your time. Add on the scultures, high altar, memorials, and side chapels and one could easily spend 1-2 hours. I, unfortunately, only had one hour.
Entrance is free, but they do ask for donations. The exterior is undergoing a thorough cleaning and restoration so scaffolding is everywhere. Grime from war and the industrial age has never been washed off the stone exterior. It will probably be unrecognizable when they are done. The building has been colored brown and black for such a long time. Leave a Comment Address: Cologne, Germany - Next to HauptbahnhofDirections: Next to the Hauptbahnhof (central station) you'd have to be blind to miss it.
