I'm form cologne and we local's have a saying that if the Cathedral is finished the world will end. Because it is so big and old that some part of it is alway under construction. So technically it never was finished.

lmao. all structures need upkeep. Particularly for religious buildings after they have burned down the native and aboriginal true temples that actually had magic in them. Before hypocritical, lying Christianity.

Haha bro scientist said it was inspired by HINDUISM there is no info like that .. To rule the world the politicans are spreading the false info 🤡..I wish u become successful in life and have wealthy life. Hope u walk all around the world. U will know the truth. Go and watch with your eyes..

The most stunning building I've ever been in, or seen. Haunting really. Visited half a dozen times in my 7 years in Germany. The massive scale, and the amount dedication and labor that went into it, are hard to comprehend. To reproduce it today would cost billions.

Woow,ja va I slottet i im Helsingör,kändes.konstigt där med.😃🙏

I’ve seen that thing, it looks unreal, I looked up at it, and I couldn’t fathom that the structure was that big

I am currently sitting on a train leaving Köln. This is the first time İ have visited this place and İ have never seen something so beautiful, special, enchanting, surreal yet dark at the same time. Truly a masterpiece

How long did that take to build Cologne Cathedral? 632 years, from 1248 to 1880. But the construction stalled for 300 years. Which perfectly describes the history of the city. When the construction started, Cologne was the largest city in modern day Germany. And with the bones of the Three Wise Men as a relic, it was a major pilgrimage site, which made a larger cathedral necessary. And since Cologne was a wealthy member of the Hanseatic League, the rich population could afford to finance the new monument. But with the downfall of the Hanseatic League, the construction of the cathedral came to an end as well. For centuries, the unfinished church was a symbol of splendour in the city. The chancel was finished, and the west work was under construction, with a large treadmill-driven crane on the trunk of the southern spire. The nave was completely missing. After the Congress of Vienna, Cologne and the rest of the Rhineland fell to Prussia. And the new protestant lords, with the upcoming nationalism, decided to complete the cathedral. For this endeavour, Master Gerhard's original plans had to be rediscovered. Luckily, a linen cloth with the original sketch of the west work was found in Prague. And so, with modern construction techniques, the church was finished in 1880 as the highest building in the world, until it was superseded by the Washington Monument four years later. The roof truss is made by cast iron, rather than would, which saved the building from the bombs in WWII. And today, due to permanent restoration, you hardly see the cathedral without any scaffolds.

My mum went to a cathoderal in England, im not sure which one it was. When she went inside and sat down and had tears streaming down her face. Overwhelming visuals and emotions

We Rhinelander are known to be the northern most Italians. It took the Prussians taking over and forcing us to work for us to complete the cathedral. (our cultural/ tribal capital Cologne was part of the Hanseatic league, had the "Stapelrecht" meaning that every trade going east to west through the HRE over Cologne's longitude had to go through Cologne and be offered to its merchants first, who had the right to declare any product subpar and have it dumped in the Rhine. Added that Cologne is a holy city of Catholic Christianity and the Jacobins pilgrim route going through it, the religious importance also brought a ton of money (the arch Bistum of Cologne is to this day the wealthiest in the world and is e.g. paying for the maintenance of the Peter's dome in the Vatican). Added to that that the arch bishop of cologne was a prince elector (was one of a handful that elected the emperor of the HRE) and hence received handsome bribes every other decade, you can start to see why hard work was never really adopted here. When my grandparents were young the Monday was still considered to be "blue" - part of the weekend and many of our stories are about stuff like the Meinzelmännchen, house spirits that did all the leftover work at night for the Colognians)

@@Yoshimitsu863 Come on! I'm German too and I don't know anyone who considers a train that's an hour late to be on time. Even the Deutsche Bahn counts a train as belated when it's more than 5 minutes late.

The architecture is amazing and it's seems like it could be the headquarters of Vlad The Impaler.

Perhaps Cologne Cathedral is the tallest "twin-spired" church in the world, but Ulm Minster's spire is taller, making it the tallest church of all. As for being the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe? A contentious issue - York Minster popularly holds that title, but Wikipedia lists the criteria for this claim.

I had to see what everybody was talking about. I can't believe this post It was posted to my page on fb And my phone won't stop beeping with views. I can't find the comments there must be more videos out of this

The ultimate Cathedral.

Crazy how crappy architecture turned out to be

The voiceover doesn't really answer the question posed by the video's title. It cites various facts post-1790 that sidestep examination of the intervening centuries.

Sound like the narrator from how is made

The cathedral lost his window glasses during the ww II. Have they finish changing the glasses to the colourful glasses like that ones were there before the war?

It didn't lose the windows, they were stashed away so they won't break in the bombings. Most of them are original.
