The town is located in the west of Germany. It has about one million inhabitants.

Cologne is the oldest major city in Germany and is looking back on an eventful history. It was elevated to the status of a city in the year 50 A.D.

Cologne´s most known building is its big cathedral, the "Kölner Dom", which you can also see in the background.
