[@tessaleroux7725]

I visited Koln in 1999 and I remember going into the Cathedral, Magnificent. Just love Germany

I went to Cologne when I was 17/18 with my friend who studied there. It was so incredible. Green, clean, friendly… I saw this cathedral. Ah memories

[@suddenlysolo2170]

I was in that cathedral in 1976 - somehow it was even impressive to a 14 year old kid!

[@TheGosgosh]

@@carlosr192 …about that mayor 😬 Then again, our standards are fairly high; she is known for certain „blunders“ but she‘s not corrupt and she has been mayor since 2015, so she won at least 2 elections meaning she‘s still competent enough to get voted in. But yea, high standards. „Reker-Länge“ (Reker-length) refers to her telling women how to not get into dangerous situations where they can be abused: simply dont get into arm‘s reach of a man (30-50cm). This happened after a bunch of non-Germans fondled and abused women on new year‘s Eve right in front of the main train station.

I lived near there for 5 years. Absolutely a beautiful city. Dusseldorf Koln and Bonn.

[@celsiushseries2771]

Düsseldorf is cool, Bonn is relaxed and Cologne is ugly. I lived there for years too. People constantly mention the cathedral and forget how ugly the rest of the city is. Apart from the cathedral, most of which was built between 1840 and 1880, and some replicas of old buildings on the banks of the Rhine, it's just an ugly post-war city, like most German and especially NRW cities and towns.

[@user-or6yn8pm3c]

@@celsiushseries2771 Cologne has beautiful women. Better than LA or NY. I have met some stunners. European women overall are much better than American. I actually like the look of Cologne in comparison to a dull US city. The good thing in the US are the rural areas.

[@celsiushseries2771]

@@user-or6yn8pm3c Everyone knows that LA is the magnet for smoking hot women, it's Hollywood, the sun and the party scene. With all due respect, German women can't be compared to the women in LA, even when Cologne's women are much prettier than the women in most parts of Germany. And speaking of dull, yes, some US cities may not be that old or historic, but they still have a soul. Some have both the history and the vibe. German cities like Cologne are just full of grey post-war blobs. Cologne's historical monuments don't even compare to those in some cities on the East Coast of the US. Simply put, Cologne was completely destroyed during the war, so most of the old buildings are just replicas, and any buildings still standing are just as old as old buildings in the US, because Germany was urbanised very late in history and the cities were enlarged mainly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[@user-or6yn8pm3c]

@@celsiushseries2771 Then go back to America. You probably never heard of Revlon or Maybelline. Most American women are good with makeup. Lots of plastic surgery in America too. LOL about Hollywood. Place is ruined. German in Venice was constantly talking about the hard reality of LA. I have a friend from SoCal who loves traveling to Germany and Hungary and yeah the women are the thing. American cities got a soul??!?? Gentrification creates a soul?!? Get real. All of Donald Trump's wives are European.

[@feddiefranco4982]

Watching this vid brings back lots of memories that until now I still cherish. My three-week stay in this city, the early mornings I spent praying in the cathedral, and the endless walks I have had around the city will forever be cherished. Koln now is a little different from the city I once visited. I am now home permanently in the Philippines, but Koln remains a beautiful memory forever.

[@leosaab240]

Great Arnold impression 👍😅🤣

[@KutWrite]

Danke sehr, GIV! You do so much for our knowledge and entertainment. Koeln sieht so schoen aus! I really wish for you in 2023 that you can get back into good shape as before. Take your time. It took me over ten years to reach my goal. Then those steps would be nothing for you. You can do it!

[@johnmookerji7770]

My wife and myself visited cologne 3 times between 2008 and 2014, and each of those times we visited the cologne cathedral, or Kőlner Dom, as it is called there. It is so huge, both outside and inside, that it's bigness is incomprehensible until you actually see it with your own eyes. It seemed to me that within the interior of the cathedral at least 2 to 3 ordinary churches, you usually see in the States or Canada, will easily fit in. There are enormous figures of all the apostles of Jesus, both inside and outside. The cathedral is indeed imposing as well as beautiful. No matter where you are cologne, you can always see the tall steeples of Kőlner Dom, and for visitors, that's an easy means to find your way back to the Main Station, because the railway station is located just beside the cologne cathedral.

Your Mom lights up my heart, Much Love!

[@SandraH09]

Germany is a beautiful country, thanks for bringing back memories of Koln. Absolutely love seeing your always smiling gorgeous mum! She is so popular with your viewers she needs her own KZbin channel.

[@celsiushseries2771]

Köln is beautiful? Really? The only real historic building is the cathedral, most of which, including the spire, was built in the late 19th century. Some of my neighbours live in houses older than most of Cologne Cathedral. There are also a few replicas on the banks of the Rhine, but that's about it. No real history, no beautiful buildings, everything is a bunch of post-war and brutalist architecture, just like in the Soviet industrial cities.

[@NothingMatterz]

I went there in 2014 for a weekend when I was staying in Berlin. I read about that church. At one time, that church was the tallest building in the world. There is a problem with it though, some of the stones are deteriorating from the inside, which could be very problematic in the future. I was next to the bell when it went off. My ears are still ringing. Cologne is awesome. I took a random walk for about an hour and ended up in a park, where a German woman started a conversation with me, turned out that she was a German language teacher for non native German speakers. As an English teacher for non native English speakers, who can speak German, I found this to be ironic, so we had a wonderful conversation mostly in German, about teaching. She then bought me a beer, then left, but came back with a Turkish woman, and told us to speak, in German. I spent a few hours in this park, it was the best day I had in Germany altogether. Cologne is awesome.
