Carnival and Kölsch

The Germans associate Cologne with a fun carnival. In the days of the holiday, the Middle Ages seem to come to life: in fancy dress a la the Middle Ages, cheerful processions, games and fun in the old spirit take place on the wide streets of the city. The roots of the carnival go back to the distant past of the city, as well as the recipe for traditional Cologne beer, brewed by local brewers for centuries. It’s not complete without Cologne beer.

Germans associate Cologne with fun carnival. In the days of the holiday, the Middle Ages seem to come to life: in fancy dress a la the Middle Ages, cheerful processions, games and fun in the old spirit take place on the wide streets of the city. The roots of the carnival go back to the distant past of the city, as well as the recipe for traditional Cologne beer, brewed by local brewers for centuries. Not a single city festival, not a single fair, nor even a carnival, can do without Cologne beer. Only any ignorant tourist will be surprised when he is offered to "drink his tongue." What will draw his imagination if he hears such a sentence? Although everything is not so dramatic: “language” is Cologne beer, “Kölsch” is local.

Church of St. Mary

The Church of St. Mary was originally Catholic, after the Great Reformation became Lutheran, and today it is an evangelical church. Its organ, made in 1722 by the master Johann Wagner, fascinates with its sound. The pride of the church is the fresco "Dance of Death" (1484). St. Mary's Church (Marienkirche), photo Martin Deutsch On Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, next to the Berlin TV tower, there is a modest church building, built in the style of the Hanseatic brick Gothic architecture, with an elegant green tower at the top.
