Audio Guide
Visitors to the Kölner Rathaus are almost certain to see one of the many newly-married couples who have their wedding photographs taken in front of the beautiful historic facade after taking their vows. Having been damaged during the Second World War, part of the 14th-century Renaissance building was rebuilt. Cologne artisans concentrated particularly on restoring the Rathaus tower, and thanks to their donations visitors today can hear the bells ringing just as they did before. Statues of emperors, popes, poets and academics - and also of women's rights campaigners - look down from the tower on the busy square below. The consoles of the tower are also decorated with the likenesses of various figures from the vast periods that span the tower's history.
