Explain city history to me
If objects could speak, what would they say? Now you can hear these ones speak: Ten select objects from the collection of the Kölnisches Stadtmuseum let us partake in their stories and historical events. Actress Gertrud “Trude” Alex Hoerle speaks vibrantly of the Golden Twenties in Cologne through her painting, while Hartger Henot vociferates about the unjust execution of his sister as an accused witch through his picture. You will witness the celebration of the Cathedral’s completion, follow the battle at the Ulre Gate with the theatrical and veiled gaze of a painter, learn all about the Father Rhine centrepiece, and take a journey through time for only the bravest balloonists. Come along on a fantastical trip with and through ten stories from Cologne.
