The still shows a bird’s-eye view of the densely built Cologne Old Town. At the center of the image is a large Romanesque church whose nave is lined with a row of round-arched arcade windows; the characteristic crossing tower with a dome helmet points to Groß St. Martin. Surrounding it extends a tight network of gabled roofs, church spires, and street layouts that document the medieval building fabric of Cologne’s city center. In the background of the image, further church towers and the flat Rhine plain can be seen. In the travel film, this overview shot provides the urban planning context before the film brings the Cologne Cathedral into focus as the city’s central landmark. The image stands representative of Cologne’s historical architectural history and the density of its Romanesque church heritage.
