 Roman museum passage by diocletianvs Roman Cologne was one of the most important towns in northern regions of the Roman Empire. Besides being an important city it was also one of the most important crossings of the Rhine. Romans constructed the first sturdy bridge over the Rhine in the year 310. It stood only for 100 years and it took 15 centuries for the next solid bridge to be built over the river. Apart from the already mentioned remains of the Roman street not much is evident of the Roman town on the streets of today's Cologne. But archaeological remains were found everywhere in central Cologne, the most important being the Dionysius Mosaic that was found standing next to the Cathedral. Exactly over this spot the Römisch-Germanisch Museum was built after the WWII showing the remains of the Roman Cologne.

by BillNJ The Römisch-Germanisches Museum is near the Cathedral. Inside, the Roman mosaic with scenes from the world of Dionysos (around 220/230 A.D.) and the reconstructed tomb of the legionary Poblicius (around 40 A.D.) are probably the best known exhibits. There are also many other interesting artefacts and presentations. With the Köln WelcomeCard, you receive a 20% discount off of the admission price.

 mosaic detail by sandysmith Another feature of the Roman-Germanic Museum you can see without actually entering is the Dionysos Mosaic floor - a delightful pagan Roman tribute to Bacchannlain pleasure. VViewable from a glass window near the fron tentrance. Roman glass vessels and a unique collection of Roman and early mediaeval jewellery are other highlights of this museum. Open Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Admission EUR 4,30 / reduced EUR 2,70

 museum exhibits by sandysmith Cologne has many museums but the Roman-Germanic Museum is a real must for History buffs - its next to the cathedral annd you can't niss it. It contains a large collection of objects excavated in Cologne revealing the city’s early history. Many pottery exhibits can be seen externally.

 Views of the Roman German Museum by kentishgirl I must admit I did not venture inside this museum, but it was very popular and looked extremley busy! You can see some of the artefacts from outside of the museum as my photograph shows.....its located next to the Dom in the heart of Cologne. Leave a Comment

 Roman Street by sabsi Between the Roman-Germanic-Museum and the Cathedral there's an old Roman street to walk on. The remains of this street were found and uncovered 1969. The street is said to originate from 3-4 AD! For safety reasons the stones found were put in a different direction though, otherwise the people would probably tumble around this little lane :-) Leave a Comment Address: Between Roman-Germanic-Museum and Cathedral

 Römisch-Germanisches Museum by sabsi Cologne is Germany's oldest major city - it was formed by the Romans in 50 AD. The layout of the main city streets is still the same as in Roman times. Of course Cologne - or as the Romans said - Colonia, has a Roman museum (actually it's the Roman-Germanic museum). It shows Roman stuff they found in the grounds of Cologne including the famous Dionysus mosaic.

 Walking on a Roman road by Redlats Next to the Cathedral is an old Roman street to walk on. It looks like it was discovered and unearthed as it is quite a bit lower (three metres or so) than its surroundings. It is interesting that Roman ruins are always metres under current grade. Does that mean that mountains are wearing down over time and getting deposited on the rest of Europe? I am always amazed when I come across architecture that was designed almost 1700 years ago. There is also part of the Roman town (recreated) on the other side of the Cathedral. And just above the street is the Romisch-Germanisches Museum which we did not have time to visit. Maybe next time! Walking in the photo are (l to r) my wife, martin_nl, sabsi, and tinytuck. Leave a Comment

by Gili_S This museum is just next to the central station and the Dom. Last time when I was here it was Monday, and it was closed. I am not sure if I really want to visit this museum, maybe I should check the web site first. Leave a Comment
