Cologne in one hour: 2,000 years on a short walk. We start at Cologne Cathedral, begun in 1248 and finished in 1880, home of the golden Shrine of the Three Kings. Beneath the cathedral square, a piece of the Roman city wall still stands, a reminder that Cologne became a Roman colony in AD 50. Then we walk to the Alter Markt and on to Great St. Martin, a Romanesque church on a former Rhine island, built over Roman warehouses. Romans, Romanesque, Gothic: Cologne in one compact hour.

Rome, the romanesque Heritage and the Cologne Cathedral

Rome, the romanesque Heritage and the Cologne Cathedral

Cologne's compact Old Town tells how a Roman city became a centre of medieval Christianity. Beneath Great St. Martin, an archaeological site reveals the Roman warehouses of the town where Maternus is recorded as first bishop in 313 AD. Above ground, Romanesque churches show how that faith flourished. A short walk away, St. Maria im Kapitol holds carved 11th-century wooden doors, among the oldest of their kind north of the Alps, depicting the life of Christ.

Walking for Cologne's Beer, the Kölsch

Walking for Cologne's Beer, the Kölsch

Kölsch is a beer and a dialect, and both live in the lanes of the Old Town. This walk visits no brewhouses: we follow Kölsch through streets, squares and stories. Commercial brewing in Cologne began around 1200, and in 1396 the brewers co-sealed the Verbundbrief, the city’s new constitution. At the Ostermann Fountain we meet the characters from Willi Ostermann’s dialect songs. You hear why Cologners speak of their beer like family. Committed, factual, curious.
