This weekend I ended up in two amazing places Cologne Germany! I found the people and the places are so full of facts and history! I love this beautiful city and the history behind it all!
Cologne is Germany's fourth largest City!
It is one of the oldest cities in Germany, it is claimed that it had been founded by the Ubii in the year 38 BC.
The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the reggae summerjam, and Cologne Gay Pride.
During World War II, Cologne was a Military Area Command Headquarters.
During the Bombing of Cologne in World War II, Cologne had 262 air raids by the Western Allies, which caused approximately 20,000 casualties and almost completely wiped out the center of the city. The church was left standing because it had been used as a locater for the bombers to know when they had reached the city.
In 1945 architect and urban planner Rudolf Schwarz called Cologne the "world's greatest heap of debris," Schwarz designed the master plan of reconstruction in 1947.
This city just really inspired me!
