Close to 20 years I've lived there and this one I still didn't figure out. When the people of Cologne call their town the "most beautiful city on Earth" - are they trying to be ironic? It doesn't look like they are, in most cases anyway.
Sometimes when I ask this, somebody comes along and says, they might mean it in a metaphorical way. The nicest people or something like that. As if that wouldn't raise the exact same question.
