Description
Did you know that the Romanesque church "Maria in the Capitol" is built to the exact dimensions of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem? Do you want to experience a Romanesque church, which today is still "alive"? Do you want to see where the bones of the Magi spend their last night before they were transferred to the old cathedral?
The 12 Romanesque churches in Cologne's city center are a real treasure of the city. They are art-historically very significant for Cologne and now dominate the townscape. Badly damaged in World War II, they were rebuilt in the 1970s. Well worth a visit!
The graduate theologian Burkhard Brücker would like to take you closer to three of the Romanesque churches in Cologne: St. Maria im Kapitol, St. Maria Lyskirchen, and Gross St. Martin. After the tour (10:30 a.m. to 12) you can stay for noon prayers in Gross St. Martin and experience the church as a living place.
