GERMANY, Köln. Romanesque church St Kunibert, c 1990. The youngest Romanesque church in Cologne has its impact on the Rhine panorama in the North of the cathedral city. It was completed in 1247, one year before the foundation stone of Cologne cathedral was laid. Source: www.cologne-tourism.com/see-experience/poi/st-kunibert/

Von den sieben Rheinbrücken Kölns ist die Hohenzollernbrücke die Brücke, die am massivsten und rustikalsten wirkt. Drei schwere stählerne Bögen ruhen auf den Steinpfeilern im Rhein. Nachts tauchen Scheinwerfer die Bögen in ein gelbliches Licht und verleihen der Konstruktion eine schwebende Leichtigkeit. 1200 Züge rollen täglich über die kombinierte Eisenbahn-Fußgängerbrücke. Damit ist sie einer der wichtigsten Eisenbahnbrücken Deutschlands. Vier Reiterstandbilder der preußischen Königen und deutschen Kaisern der Hohenzollern-Familie flankieren jeweils die Rampen.
A dream becomes reality
Hans Imhoff (1922-2007), a passionate maker of chocolates, had a long held dream: a chocolate museum with a fountain of unending streams of chocolate.
In 1972, Hans Imhoff acquired the Stollwerck factory in Cologne’s Südstadt city quarter. It was there that he discovered by chance a transport container holding broken machinery, packaging material and old files ready for the rubbish tip. He was instantly aware that he had come across a treasure trove. He had the contents examined, refurbished and restored, creating the foundations for a museum.
But many years were to pass before the opening of the Chocolate Museum. Hans Imhoff used the time to have the culture and industrial history of chocolate researched while he continued to develop and expand his collection.
In 1992, his wife Gerbung Klara Imhoff discovered the perfect site for the Chocolate Museum at the old central customs office in the Rheinau harbour; Cologne’s new landmark could then be constructed.
On 31 October 1993, after a 13-month construction period, the Chocolate Museum was opened. It became a triumph of German museum history that nobody thought possible. With around 600,000 visitors a year, it is the most frequented cultural institution in Cologne.
