  5. About Cologne Cologne (Köln) is Germany’s fourth-largest city, founded by the Romans in 38 BC and is located in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, along the Rhine River between Dusseldorf and Bonn. Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities. The city is located on both sides of the Rhine River. Cologne is a major cultural centre of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. Its current population is approximately one million. It has a long list of attractions, led by its famous Dom (cathedral) whose filigree twin spires dominate the impressive Altstadt (Old Town) skyline. There are also numerous museums – art to chocolate to sports – to explore or concerts to attend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Köln_Panorama.jpg

  6. Cologne Attractions The Cologne Cathedral Cologne's Gothic Cathedral is one of its top attractions. It took over 600 years to build and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and is a World Heritage Site. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day. Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe". It is conveniently located right next to the train station. In 2000, the Cathedral treasures were placed in a historic vaulted chamber for public viewing. If you can climb 509 steps you'll get a good view of Cologne on the observation platform. Open 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM for viewing, except during mass. http://www.koelner-dom.de/index.php?id=19167&L=1 • http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com/slideshow-photo/cologne-cathedral-took-over-600-years-to-complete-cologne-germany.html?sid=12567742&fid=upload_12921786738-tpfil02aw-1516

  7. Cologne Attractions Rhine Boat Trips There are many castles and fortresses along the Rhine River, and lots of day trips and longer excursions are available from Cologne. http://www.cologne-tourism.com/city-experience/city-of-waters/river-rhine-highlights-on-the-water/rhine-river-tours.html • The house of 4711, the Original Eau-de-Cologne Wilhelm Mulhens marketed a concoction called Aqua Mirabilis on the basis of its stimulating and refreshing effect (splash it on or drink it, it didn't matter). It later got to be know as the first Eau de Cologne when French Revolutionary troops sent it home for gifts to the family.Pictured above it, the Glockengasse, in the city center between the cathedral and Neumarkt, opposite the opera house. http://www.4711.com/home+M52087573ab0.html http://www.discoverthetrip.com/uploads/images/4478-Cologne_Germany_Europe_14.01.2012_1.jpg http://www.dw.de/dw/article/0,,2375357,00.html

  9. Cologne – Indy Comparison

  10. Language High German is used as the official language of Germany. Despite this, dialects vary throughout the country. Kölsch (Colognian) is a very closely related small set of dialects, or variants, of the Ripuarian Central German group of languages. Kölsch is spoken in and partially around Cologne, and Kölsch is one of the very few city dialects in Germany. German and English are considered “Germanic” languages and are, therefore, very closely related. Pronunciation of German words is almost entirely phonetic – what you see is what you get, provided you know how to pronounce the German alphabet. Use this link to hear the complete alphabet spoken: http://german.about.com/od/pronunciation/a/The-German-Alphabet.htm For a phonetic spelling chart, go to: http://german.about.com/library/blfunkabc.htm# .

  11. Cologne Climate Cologne is one of the warmest cities in Germany. It has a temperate oceanic climate with relatively mild winters and warm summers. Its average annual temperature is 50ºF: 58ºF during the day and 42 º F at night. Cologne is regularly affected by flooding from the Rhine and is considered the most flood-prone European city. A city agency manages an extensive flood control system which includes both permanent and mobile flood walls, protection from rising waters for buildings close to the river banks, monitoring and forecasting systems, pumping stations and programs to create or protect floodplains and river embankments. http://v6.jamesmuspratt.com/images/437.jpg

  12. Sports Cologne has much to offer the sports enthusiast. The popular sports of soccer (known as football to the rest of the world), hockey and basketball have a team based here. Soccer(Fussball) The football or soccer team 1. FC Köln is Cologne’s home team. It was officially formed in 1948 when two smaller teams merged together.

  15. Cologne Cuisine RIEVKOCHE: This dish is a potato pancake usually enjoyed with apple sauce. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ82jWLn1FL8NTO7trXdJjrdas4y6X9kjf_eo18fOAhS4QQG3b7 HIMMEL UN ÄÄD http://www.food.com/recipe/rievkooche-or-reibekuchen-cologne-style-potato-pancakes-173315 RHEINISCHER SOORBRODE This plate is traditionally made with horse meat marinated for several days in vinegar and spices. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5229/5793408726_00efb78e70.jpg HALVER HAHN Made with a dark rye bread, cheese and mustard, this is a traditional tasty treat. http://www.onechickennugget.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/745px-Halvenhahn.jpg

  16. Cologne Recipe Heaven and Earth (Himmel un Ad) This meal got its name, because it consists of apples, which grow in the sky (in German there is only one word for "sky" and "heaven”potatoes, which grow in the earth. The combination of sour ingredients (here the apples) with meat and/or potatoes is rather typical for the Rhineland. Ingredients 750 g potatoes 750 g apples (preferably Boskop) 7 onions 100 g bacon salt 100 ml milk 2 Tablespoons butter Nutmeg Lemon juice (optional) 500 g black pudding (some kind of sausage with blood) 500 g liverwurst (or again black pudding) Directions Peel the potatoes and the apples, cut them into pieces and cook them tender in separate pots (the potatoes in salt water). Cut the onions into slices and fry them together with the bacon in a heavy pan, until the are brown. Mash the potatoes coarsely together with milk, butter and nutmeg. Process the apples to apple sauce. Possibly refine it with lemon juice. Mix it with the potato mash. Cut the sausage into slices and fry them on both sides for about 1min. Dress "Heaven and Earth" (i.e. the potatoes and the apples) on plates and put the sausage and the onions over it.

  17. Cologne Christmas Market Germany’s reputation for legendary Christmas markets is well deserved – and this is the granddaddy of them all. With the dramatic backdrop of the famed Cologne cathedral, the Medieval Christmas Market is full of handcrafts and live music as well as a breathtaking live nativity for postmodern attention spans. When: November 21st until December 23rd What to buy: Räuchermännchen (wooden dolls complete with smoking pipe), nutcrackers, children’s toys, and charity products whose proceeds go to the needy. Food and drink: Wash down aromatic baked apples and roasted almonds with the traditional, cinnamon-infusedglühwein. Plus, an eco-friendly, fair trade ethos means that you can conscientiously indulge in organic treats. For the children: At the Alter Market you’ll find a child’s winter paradise, complete with a merry-go-round and a puppet theatre. Ice skaters, head to the Heumarkt.

  19. Karneval The Karneval season in Germany (also called the "Fifth Season") officially begins on November 11th, at 11:11 a.m. In this magic hour, the "Council of Eleven" comes together to plan the events for the upcoming festivities. The official hats of the councils' members: Colorful fool's caps with little bells. The actual celebrations of the German Karneval take place 40 days before Easter; they are the last big party before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. The celebrations kick off with "Women’s Karneval" on Thursday before Ash Wednesday. On this day, a lady can kiss any man she likes after cutting off his tie. The next highlight is Rose Monday: Marching bands, dancers, and floats parade down the streets, throwing confetti, sweets, and toys. The elaborate floats often show caricatured figures mocking politicians and other personalities. Thousands of dressed-up Germans line up the streets every year to watch this spectacle. On Shrove Tuesday, costume balls are held all over Germany, while Ash Wednesday marks the end of the frenzied fun.

  20. School in Germany School in Germany is different from school in America. What Americans know as kindergarten is the same name Germans use for preschool. German school officially begins with first grade, usually at the age of 6. When German students start first grade, they get a large cone called a Schultüte filled with candy and school supplies from their parents. Grundschule (elementary school) goes from first grade until fourth grade. Then, parents and teachers choose one of several types of school for children after elementary school. Many German children go on to a Gymnasium (college preparatory high school) from fifth grade until twelfth or thirteenth grade. When students graduate from Gymnasium, they get a diploma called an Abitur and can go on to college. Other children may go to Realschule (technical academic high school) until the tenth grade. Students who graduate from Realschule after tenth grade can continue to study at a Gymnasium or start to learn a trade. Another choice is Hauptschule (secondary school), where students study general subjects. Students must attend Hauptschule for at least 5 years.
