Weekend StoriesOn this year's #OpenMonumentDay, I was lucky enough to visit the Historical #CityHall of #Cologne. The building truly reflects the city's rich history, with its Gothic architecture, halls, and intricate decorations. The #HansaSaal, #Senatssaal, and the iconic tower are just some of the highlights. Here is a summary of my visit:

Cologne’s Historical City Hall
The Historical City Hall (Historisches Rathaus) in Cologne stands as one of the city’s most iconic monuments, reflecting its rich political and economic history. The current city hall complex is a blend of various architectural styles from different periods, illustrating Cologne’s transformation over centuries, from a prominent medieval trading hub in the Hanseatic League to a powerful free city of the Holy Roman Empire. Some weeks ago, I was lucky to visit the city hall during the Day of the Open Monument in 2024. Here are some few impressions and a brief overview of the history of the city hall.
