A tiny chapel that stood on the old Römerstraße in the late 9th century later developed into one of the most beautiful of Cologne's Romanesque churches, standing today on one of the busy streets around the Neumarkt. St Aposteln is the third of the "Kölner Dreikronchenanlagen" or churches associated with the three crowns on Cologne's coat-of-arms, together with St. Maria im Kapitol and Groß St. Martinl. The later baroque ornamentation, together with the mosaic decoration of the vault, were badly damaged during the Second World War and were not restored during the reconstruction. Some of the treasures once held by the church have survived: for instance, the Heribertkelch (chalice of St Heribert), which is said to have belonged to the canonised Archbishop Heribert (999-1021), who is the alleged founder of the church of St Aposteln.
