The Cologne Rhine Panorama is probably the most famous city view in Germany - and for good reason. From the dizzyingly tall cathedral with its large, colorful windows to the twelve grand Romanesque churches and the "city beneath the city," the legacy of its Roman founders, Cologne offers a remarkable diversity of character. Even the two sides of the Rhine, the left bank and the "schäl-Sick," are as different as the "Tatort" sausage stand and the Museum Ludwig. Oliver Berg and Christoph Driessen present all the small and large beauties of Cologne in this wonderful picture book. Above all, they convey a special quality that is hard to capture in images: the cheerful Cologne way of life - not just during Carnival.
