I can see the cathedral from my window. this video doesn't do it justice at all, it is simply enormous. When you stand in front of it, it looks more like some kind of natural geological feature rather than a building
Yeaa been there once, but now that I see this, I really want to go back (also with the fact that nowadays I would take my camera with me and It'd be so great making pictures and vids there!) beautiful church.
Also yes, the Rhine river is just 300m from this building! It really dominates the skyline from the other side of the Rhine, in a good way offc!
I was actually up in the corridor inside the windows in 1998 and took photos, normally this is not open to the public. That was on an Open Monument Day when normally inaccessible areas are opened.
You can enter the bell area at any time when climbing the tower. Incidentally, the St. Peter's bell shown here is the largest swinging bell in the world, weighing 24,600 kg including the clapper.
"Relics" were probably big business in medieval times. Every single church around Europe craved a piece of something, anything, a holy little splinter of wood or shard of bone.
So of course "innovative businessmen" took it upon themselves to provide the market with such things. I bet they left little carvings on exotic tree trunks wherever they travelled, these relic splinter peddlers. There's been tricksters around for centuries 😊
yes, been there ( outside only). It is massive and imtimidating. The main train station is right besides it. And the mighty Rhine passes just along it. I think they mean the highest walls that support a roof.
Every time I want to get across the river, I have to cycle around that thing
fun fact. Some of the stone figures on the outter side of the cathedral were eroded so much, nobody could tell how their faces looked like in original state. While restoration, the stonemasons decided to substitute some of them with the faces of actual famous people like football players and actors.
Are these really the bones of the three wise men? Probably not, but in the middle ages many relics (bones of saints etc.) gave Christian buildings a special status for pilgrimage so all needed them. If you put all the wood that exists in the world that claims to be part of Jezus's cross together, you could probably build a house. But it's always nice to believe it is, and that's what matters.
it is btw a wonder the cathedral still exists, whole during WWII the city of Köln suffered hundreds of air raids from allied bombers and was almost completely flattened, except for the cathedral.
During a military campaign of Emporer Friedrich I. Barbarossa in today North Italy (in those days Lombards Citys) knights from Cologne stole the bones, I think from Milano, and brought them to Cologne where they are still today.
Yes, some very curious relics, such as the foreskin of Jesus or the nipples of Mary.😂
The bones or the relict was came to Cologne because their was robbed after the conquest of Mailand from Friedrich Barbarossa in the 12th Century (1162). The archbishop of Cologne and chancellor of the Empire from Friedrich Barbarossa gets the relict and so it was brought to Cologne
YOU CAN go up there. Ask the cologne tourist-office (check their web-page) and make a deal. Be generous to the guides and DON'T be afraid of high altitude..... and then: JUST ENJOY.....
Thank you!😃 I have been there. It’s very impressive.
I think, the highest walls may be some dams in China(?)
the whole reason few people go to that vantage point is cause its really high up, really hard to get to and most people fear they may fall to their death on the way there
been there. ofc. have to. had family that helped restore it, arist uncle. & my german heritage.
1:27 Scam from back then to now.
"The Bones" ??? over 2000 years old mystery .... just believe..... but maybe they are the right ones..... (scientists found out: their age and heritage fits...) go near them and just FEEL.....
