The city that made me fall in love with Deutschland :D #köllealaaf

I was in Koln for 2 and a half years and then moved to Potsdam for an internship. I chose to move back to Koln again because this is honestly the only city in Germany that made me fall in love with it. Koln is that one city where you feel young, open, excited and want to live life like there is no tomorrow !

Danke, Dw for showcasing my favorite German city in addition to the top-notched news broadcasting!

The Carnival in Dortmund and Koln is just fantastic!

This was well informed as well fun to watch.

Interesting gesture, coaster on the top👍🏻. There is a similar gesture in Turkiye, when you don’t want any more tea, you put the teaspoon on the top. But I’ve never seen anyone doing that. Plus, Kölsch bier ist sehr schön😊

Comogne is the winter blues par excellence. Bloody carnival from Nov 11th till End of Febr.

As a real "Kölsche Jung" i must say this is a very nice, short and good information Video :D

Cologne is much older than Glasgow, Munich, Paris, Berlin or London. And for over 1, 900 years, the Archbishops of Cologne have been buried in Cologne Cathedral. And the legend says: when the graves in Cologne Cathedral are full, the world ends... Fortunately, there is still some little space left under Cologne

[volkerschoegelalmeida]

I did not know about Lentpark. Thank you

[ddiesel]

Cologne Cathedral is very similar in design and size to St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague

[roelantverhoeven]

it's also the oldest city of germany, the fourth largest city of germany, and the largest german city that is neither a Bundesland of it's own, nor the capital of a bundesland.

5:30 this feels like summer - childish gambino did anyone else notice this ?

[thomashawkM]

It’s so sad to see a travel video that came out in early 2020

[neworderself]

I’d say it probably stands around approximately 155.2 metres over your head, depending on your height. haha.

[koenigadler]

Cathedral is impressive, but the city is dirty, garbage everywhere. I was surprised, thought that can't happen in Germany

For God's sake, don't drink their local beer there ("Kölsch").
This is not beer, but a beer substitute.
Germans make excellent beer - with the exception of Cologne
