Ugly and Beautiful in Cologne. The former Cologne Cathedral master builder Barbara Schock-Werner, together with chief correspondent and journalist Joachim Frank, has once again embarked on a city tour. The result is a guide to Cologne that speaks plainly, just like its successful predecessor. "Cologne to the Point" takes us to particularly striking locations in the city, highlighting both the blemishes and the hidden treasures. Whether it's modern church buildings or medieval saint figures, parks, libraries, train stations, or walls - we always encounter city views that most of us have overlooked before. This book opens the reader's eyes to the city and its history and ultimately serves as a plea for the preservation of Cologne's architectural treasures. "This book should be like my tours in the cathedral, after which people often say: We've been here so many times, but what you showed us, we've never noticed before." Barbara Schock-Werner.
