不经意间，来波恩已经两个月了，在忙完各种各样的琐事之后，终于完成学校的注册，拿到学生证。真的应验了朋友们以前说的那句话，德国人肯定会给你办事，但可能要花很长时间。 科隆离波恩不远，周末乘着火车半个小时就到科隆了。老天爷很给面子，天气由多云转晴，心情也一下好了许多。好了，看图吧. 科隆大教堂 巴洛克建筑，艺术与科学的完美结晶， 普鲁士国王威廉一世，他的智囊团中包括洪堡兄弟 科隆城的天空 莱茵河之秋 从莱茵河的大桥上看科隆大教堂 科隆主教座堂 （Klner Dom，全名Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria），是位于 德国 科隆 的 一座 天主教 主教座堂 ，它是科隆市毫无争议的标志性建筑物。157米高的钟楼使得它成为德国第二（仅次于 乌尔姆 市的 乌尔姆主教座堂 ）、世界第三高的教堂，另外也是世界上第三大的 哥特式 教堂（前两位是 塞维利亚主教座堂 和 米兰主教座堂 ）。它从 13世纪 中起建，工程时断时续，至 1880 年 才 由德皇 威廉一世 宣告完工，耗时超过600年，直到今日仍然修缮工程不断。艺术史专家认为它完美地结合了所有 中世纪 哥特式 建筑和装饰元素，因此 联合国教科文组织 于 1996 年 将 其列为 世界文化遗产 （ 2004 年 科 隆主教座堂被列入 濒危世界遗产名录 ， 2006 年 脱 离该名录）。 1880 年 至 1888 年 间科隆主教座堂曾是世界上最高的建筑。它至今仍是德国最受欢迎的旅游景点： 2001 年 有 5百万游客参观了这座教堂， 2004 年 达到了6百万。 科隆主教座堂隶属于 天主教科隆总教区 ，是 科隆总主教 的主教座堂， 主保圣人 为 圣母玛利亚 及 圣伯多禄 。 Cologne Cathedral ( German : Klner Dom , officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria ) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne , Germany . It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne (currently Cardinal Joachim Meisner ), and is under the administration of the archdiocese of Cologne . It is renowned as a monument of Christianity , of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture and of the continuing faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary . The cathedral is a World Heritage Site , one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany , and Cologne 's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an exceptional work of human creative genius. It is visited by 30 thousand people every day. Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5m wide and its towers are approximately 157m tall. The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe . For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world , until the completion of the Washington Monument . It has the second-tallest church spires , only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Minster , completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest faade of any church in the world. The choir of the cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault. Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship of the Holy Roman Emperor . Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value and a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe. （上述介绍来自 wiki）
