The still shows a religious procession in Cologne: a dense crowd moves through a street lined with brick buildings, above which white banners bearing crosses and a heraldic banner wave. The festively dressed participants—men in dark coats and hats, women likewise wearing headdresses—attest to the folk-religious character of the event. Cologne was known as a significant center of German Catholicism; processions were a fixed part of the city’s ecclesiastical life.
