KÖLN - Historischer Rundgang (The historic way)
Agrippina wurde 15 n. Chr. in einer von Römern angelegten Ubiersiedlung als Tochter des Germanicus geboren. Im Jahr 50, anlässlich ihrer Hochzeit mit Kaiser Claudius, erhob sie ihre Geburtsstadt zur römischen Kolonie und gab ihr den Namen „Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium von den Römern kurz CCAA genannt. Teile der römischen Tore und Stadtmauern lassen sich auf einem Rundgang durch das heutige Köln an vielen Stellen noch erkennen.
Das gilt ebenso für die mittelalterlichen Gebäude, von der Teile der Stadtbefestigungen und Tore zum Teil erhalten oder wiederaufgebaut wurden. Einige dieser Bauten, wie das Eigelsteintor, der Gürzenich oder das Overstolzenhaus sind in diesem Video zu sehen. Das interessanteste Gebäude ist aber wohl das Kölner Rathaus, mit seinem im Renaissance-Stil erbauten Vorbau und das zudem auch noch als das älteste Rathaus Deutschlands gilt.
Natürlich gibt es noch viel mehr historische Bauten in Köln, ich habe mich in diesem kurzen Clip lediglich auf einige im Stadtzentrum konzentriert.
Für Interessierte ist das Römisch-Germanische Museum am Kölner Dom eine ganz große Empfehlung.
Agrippina was born in 15 a.D. as daughter from Germanicus in a romanian invested settlement. In year 50, on the occasion of her marriage to Emperor Claudius, she raised her birthplace to a colony, and gave it the name Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium by the Romans named CCAA shortly. Parts of the Roman city walls and gates can be on a tour of the Cologne today in many places still visible.
The same applies to the medieval buildings were from parts of the city walls and gates partly preserved or reconstructed. Some of these buildings, like the Eigelsteintor, the Gürzenich or Overstolzenhaus can be seen in this video.
The most interesting building is probably the Cologne Town Hall, with its Renaissance-style porch and also to be the oldest town hall in Germany still applies.
Of course there are many more historic buildings in Cologne, I have concentrated in this short clip, only a few in the city center.
For those interested, the Roman-Germanic Museum near the Cologne Cathedral, a very great recommendation.

SUMMARY
=======
Cologne (English: ; German: Köln, pronounced [kœln] (listen), Ripuarian: Kölle [ˈkœlə] (listen)) is the largest city of Germany's most populous federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and its 1,075,935 (2016) inhabitants make it the fourth most populous city in Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. The largest city on the Rhine, it is also the most populous city both of the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region, which is Germany's largest and one of Europe's major metropolitan areas, and of the Rhineland. Centred on the left bank of the Rhine, Cologne is about 45 kilometres (28 mi) southeast of North Rhine-Westphalia's capital of Düsseldorf and 25 kilometres (16 mi) northwest of Bonn. It is the largest city in the Central Franconian and Ripuarian dialect areas.
The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. There are many institutions of higher education in the city, most notably the University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln), one of Europe's oldest and largest universities, the Technical University of Cologne (Technische Hochschule Köln), Germany's largest university of applied sciences, and the German Sport University Cologne (Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln), Germany's only sport university. Cologne Bonn Airport (Flughafen Köln/Bonn) is Germany's seventh-largest airport and lies in the southeast of the city. The main airport for the Rhine-Ruhr region is Düsseldorf Airport.
Cologne was founded and established in Ubii territory in the 1st century AD as the Roman Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, the first word of which is the origin of its name. An alternative Latin name of the settlement is Augusta Ubiorum, after the Ubii. Cologne, the French version of the city's name, has become standard in English as well. The city functioned as the capital of the Roman province of Germania Inferior and as the headquarters of the Roman military in the region until occupied by the Franks in 462. During the Middle Ages it flourished on one of the most important major trade routes between east and west in Europe. Cologne was one of the leading members of the Hanseatic League and one of the largest cities north of the Alps in medieval and Renaissance times. Prior to World War II the city had undergone several occupations by the French and also by the British (1918–1926). Cologne was one of the most heavily bombed cities in Germany during World War II, with the Royal Air Force (RAF) dropping 34,711 long tons (35,268 tonnes) of bombs on the city.
The bombing reduced the population by 95%, mainly due to evacuation, and destroyed almost the entire city. With the intention of restoring as many historic buildings as possible, the successful postwar rebuilding has resulted in a very mixed and unique cityscape.
Cologne is a major cultural centre for the Rhineland; it hosts more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne, Gamescom, and the Photokina.

St Alban's Homecoming
Ein Film von Thomas Friebe.
Im Jahre 2002 kehrte eine Reliquie des Heiligen Alban wieder an den Ort zurück, wo er zu Beginn des 4. Jahrhunderts als erster englischer Martyrer wegen seines Glaubens hingerichtet wurde.
Alban war ein Heide, der bei Verulamium dem heutigen St. Albans lebte und zum Christentum übertrat. Er wurde für sein Festhalten am Glauben auf einem Hügel oberhalb der römischen Siedlung Verulamium geköpft. In der Nähe dieses Hügels wurden später die Abtei St. Albans und die St. Albans Kathedrale gegründet. Teile der Reliquien des Heiligen Albanus wurden bereits im 5. Jahrhundert nach Rom überführt. Die in der Kathedrale verbliebenen Reliquien wurden bei der Reformation in England vernichtet. Der Schrein zu Ehren des Heiligen Albans, welcher von Anglikanern wie Katholiken gleichermaßen verehrt wird, war fortan leer. Pfarrer Peter von Steinitz aus Köln, in dessen Pfarrei die Reliquien des Heiligen mittlerweile ruhten, entschloss sich daher im Jahre 2001, der Gemeinde der St. Albans Cathedral die Schenkung einer Reliquie St. Albans anzubieten. Diese stimmten zu. Dafür wurde der Schrein dann von dem Kölner Weihbischof Klaus Dick geöffnet und eine Reliquie entnommen. Sie wurde dann von den Mitgliedern der Gemeinde St. Pantaleon nach St. Albans überführt, wo sie in Empfang genommen und in einer feierlichen Prozession in die Kirche gebracht wurde. Seitdem ist der alte St.-Albans-Schrein in der Kathedrale wieder wirklich eine Ruhestätte des Heiligen. St. Alban ist nach Hause zurückgekehrt.
