Cologne is a city with long and interesting history. It was founded by the Roman and first mentioning about it dates back to 50 B.C. In the Middle Ages population of this oldest city in Germany was about 40000 people.

During the Second World War the centre of Cologne was destroyed for 90%, 72% of its territory was under bombing. When the war finished those few historical places that remained untouched were tediously restored. Their reconstruction was a true success.
