Nicht für eine Hochzeitsfeier zu empfehlen. Besprochener und reservierter Hochzeitstermin für eine Ambiente Samstagstrauung wurde ohne Rücksprache für eine Taufe vergeben und abgesagt.

A beautiful park.

Petit et pas vraiment authentique dans la mesure où presque tout à été reconstruit après la guerre. On peut se passer de la visite



Mi è piaciuto molto il Centro Storico di Colonia, tra i più belli che mi sia capitato di visitare; Chiese, Ristoranti, Negozi, belle Piazze e Monumenti e Palazzi storici; mi è piaciuto osservare tutto nei due giorni in cui ci sono andato.












Great place ! We enjoyed a lot during two days the Christmas market which was organized so well and very beautiful. Decorations and the ambiance was so magic as well for kids and adults. The food makers was chosen so well to present the local traditional food.

Sehr schön 🥰







The most original Christmas market, makes you feel like you are in a movie! We ice-skated (amateurish) and tasted different snacks. We visited at the end of the first week of January, so it wasn't really crowded.









Heumarkt in Cologne captures the essence of the city's vibrant culture with its lively atmosphere and historic charm. The square is a delightful blend of modern amenities and traditional architecture, offering a perfect backdrop for both casual strolls and vibrant social gatherings. The diverse array of cafes and restaurants around Heumarkt provide a culinary journey through local flavors, making it an ideal spot to unwind and indulge in the rich tapestry of Cologne's culinary scene. Whether it's enjoying a leisurely afternoon or immersing in the lively evening ambiance, Heumarkt stands out as a must-visit locale that seamlessly weaves together the old and the new in this charming city.









We visited for the Christmas Market, which was fantastic for food, drinks and activities on the ice. The other part in Altermarkt has the big wheel and bands. There are also some good bars around the square, allowing for people watching







ย่านเมืองเก่า น่าเดินเล่นมาก มีร้านอาหาร ร้านค้าที่ตกแต่งได้น่าสนใจ เสียดายฉันมาวันหยุดนักขัตฤกษ์ บางร้านปิดบริการ คุณจะเพลินกับการดูตึกเก่า หรือจะนั่งดื่มกาแฟจากร้านอาหาร ชมวิวแม่น้ำและสะพาน




Mesmerizing and cheerful atmosphere! Do pay it a visit if you are in Köln. Try some classic food and wine and have a good time with your friends.



















































A really buzzing market at this time of year. Loaded with atmosphere but the crowds are not for the faint hearted.
Masses to see, a feast for the eyes and the tummies. The aromas, sound and visual experience will stay with you for a long time.

Wonderful winter fairytale themed Christmas market.
With ice skating rink and carousel.
Very crowded, but that was to be expected.

Visited the Christmas Market during the first week of December. Great experience as I was new to Europe/Germany. Definitely a great activity with friends or local acquaintances for cultural immersion. It gets really crowded as the night goes by so plan accordingly.



Neat fountain right in the middle of the old town market.








Sehr eindrucksvoll und gut gepflegt

The adjoining side from the tower. Capturing the vibes and picturing it in my mind with the sights and sounds of then while strolling round the magnificent structure. However, it's not open during the weekends.

In der bekannten Geschichte von Jan und Griet weist die junge Griet den um sie werbenden Knecht als schlechte Partie ab. Dieser zieht daraufhin in den Dreißigjährigen Krieg und wird zum erfolgreichen Reiter-General. Bei seiner Rückkehr nach Köln zieht er triumphierend und bejubelt durch das Severinstor, wo er auf dem Markt seine einstige große Liebe, die Griet, erblickt. Er zieht seinen Hut und sagt: Griet, wer et hätt jedonn!" (Griet, wer es getan hätte) und sie antwortete ihm "Jan, wer et hät jewoss!" (Jan, wer konnte das wissen). Er aber steigt auf sein Pferd und reitet weiter.

Toller Hof. Sehr schöne Architektur. Ein Besuch lohnt sich.






Bei unsere Tour in Köln trafen wir einen sehr schönen Platz mit einem eindrucksvollen Brunnen. Der Jan von Werth Brunnen, perfekt hier zu sitzen und sich erholen. Gleich hinter dem Brunnen ist natürlich wieder eine Bierbrauerei Namens von Werth. Klar doch, hier auch ein leckeres Kölsch Bier trinken.




The Jan von Werth Fountain was donated by the Beautification Association in 1884 and built by Wilhelm Albermann on the Alter Markt. The obelisk fountain can be divided into three main parts. Steps and a base with a water basin, two large ones on the front and two on the back, form the lower part. Two smaller pools are accessible via three steps on the left and right. These pools were originally used by market visitors. Relief panels between the columns on the front and back show Jan and Griet as a young couple and the scene of their reunion. Two larger than life, seated figures are depicted on the north and south sides of the fountain. The male figure is a representation of the Cologne peasant, recognizable by a stick in your right hand and the Cologne coat of arms on your chest. The female figure, holding a shield in her right hand, represents the Virgin. Above the fountain is the standing figure of Jan von Werth, who is shown with legs apart, wearing riding boots and a skirt, and leaning on a sword with both arms

Beautiful little dam with an old viaduct.










Ein Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer am Sachsenring. Sehr gut erhalten und gepflegt durch die Kölner Karnevalsgesellschaften. Geschichte zum Anfassen.








Die Kölner Altstadt besticht durch kleine Gässchen, zahlreiche Brauhäuser und bunte historische Häuser. Empfehlenswert!

A nice and beautiful place to pass by while sightseeing around köln. Its near business park. You can enjoy the view and sit around the bridge area.



Für die einen ist es ein interessantes Denkmal, für Pokemonbegeisterte ein verstecktes Zeichen 🤭😉

Es handelt sich um ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude in der Villenkolonie Marienburg in Köln. Es wurde von dem Kölner Architekten Paul Pott entworfen. Es wurde in den Jahren 1914 und 1915 für Wilhelm Auerbach erbaut. Es befindet sich derzeit in einem baufälligen Zustand. Es ist schade, ein solches Gebäude verlassen zu sehen.

Beautiful place to chill after sightseeing, amazing sunset


👍

Immer wieder ein Genuss hier zu sein.

Ein sehr schöner Ort zum chillen, gehe da oft hin wenn’s mir nicht gut geht und höre meine Musik.

Hübsch mit vielen Kneipen, was gut oder schlecht sein kann



Statue of Jon Von Werth. To save time, you can find info below.
Johann von Werth (1591 – 16 January 1652), also Jan von Werth or in French Jean de Werth, was a German general of cavalry in the Thirty Years' War.
Johann von Werth became a general was due to a girl.
The poor peasant Jan fell in love with Griet but she wanted a wealthier partner and declined his offer of marriage. Devastated by her rejection he came upon an army recruiter and signed up to go to war. Through hard work and good fortune he rose to become a general, celebrating several victories. After taking the fort at Hermannstein he was leading his triumphant troops into Cologne through St. Severin's Gate, when he saw his former love Griet selling fruit at a market. Griet was filled with regret at turning down such a successful person and exclaimed "Jan, who would have thought it?" to which he replied "Griet, who would have had done it!" and turns away.

Erfreuliche Kaffee ☕️ Rösterei auf dem Buttermarkt…….Kakao ist ebenso voller Geschmack 👅 Energie innovativ ein bedeutend anders Publikum garantiert kein Ballermann und keine kleinen Feiglinge hier …angetroffen .



In Köln gibt es leider sehr wenige Zeugen der Vergangenheit, viel zu viel ist im Krieg zerstärt worde. An der Ulrepforte steht noch ein Stück der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, eine der ganz wenigen Relikte neben den noch erhaltenen wenigen Stadttoren. Gut das die Karnevalsgesellschaften so das Erbe erhalten, dafür gebührt wirklich ein großer Dank.

Julia 🌟 could capture an 🦅 Adler on cam, he/she was visiting this park 🏞️ by chance, it's small park relatively but it's a charming one , if the car noise factor could be eleminated, hopefully sooner than ever.. would b Ideal mix between nature reserve, super modern steal building along with middle old age building s

Eine Schlichte aber wirklich sehr schöne Skulptur,
welche den Bereich um den Apostelkirchplatz aufwertet.
5* für das gelungene städtebauliche Mobiliar.

Toller Aussichtspunkt auf den Rhein :)

It’s so cool to walk around...

Schönes altes Wegkreuz. Klasse restauriert


























This statue and fountain stands in tribute to Jan von Werth, a 16th and 17th century German soldier who achieved notability during the Thirty Years War.
The monument takes the form of a victory column with Jan von Werth atop the column instead of nike. Around the base of the column are four cute looking cherubs, two statues depicting a farmer and a local Cologne Girl. There are also relief sculptures telling the (probably apocryphal) story of why Jan von Werth became a soldier in the first place, but I don’t want to ruin the story for you. Worth visiting when in Cologne.

Konrad Adenauer wurde 1867 in Köln geboren und starb 1967 in Rhöndorf. Er war von 1917 bis 1933 Oberbürgermeister von Köln und von 1949 bis 1963 der 1. Bundeskanzler der BRD.

A cute little park on the outskirt of the city. Nice place to take a walk and relax. Very large pond with an old bridge ruin and some artwork. Good area to start a trip to the city because there is decent parking in this area. Not much else to see.

Schönes Denkmal direkt am Neumarkt in der Kölner Innenstadt. Unmittelbar an einer alten Kirche und neben einem Markt, der immer Dienstags und freitags stattfindet. Gut zu erreichen mit dem öffentlichen Nahverkehr.

Really pretty on a sunny day.
